Ran a pretty rough benchmark: 10040 lines of code (5020 repetitions of the
above example) 10 times with an average execution time of 6.07904628515244
seconds.
> Example TWO: (in html && parse mode)
> --------[cut]---------------
> <html-tag>blah blah blah blah blah blah blah</html-tag>
> <html-tag><?=$Var1;?></html-tag><b-tag><?=$Var2;?></b-tag>
> --------[/cut]--------------
Same benchmark, except these two lines were used instead of the two lines
in the above case (obviously). Again, 10 executions; this time the average
execution time was 6.40339350700379 seconds.
There are 100 ways error could've been introduced into this test; even so,
the results seem to lean towards not switching between html & php modes...
although, you're talking about 1000 lines of code, and the test used 10
times that, and the resulting difference was a little more than 3 tenths of
a second... if you compared it with 1/10th of the code (your 1000 line
file), you'd probably have a difference in the hundredths-of-a-second
range.
It's up to you, but I agree with what Christian said - I'd probably shoot
for being able to maintain the code; with such a little speed difference
you might as well set up more servers than optimize for 1/5th of a second
in execution time.
