[PHP] Does class length slow down performance

Hi, I'm developing an joomla component and my helper an user classes are crowing bigger and bigger. The helper class is for static use only. Does class size decrease performance of my php scripts, even for static usage? Is there a general rule when to split a class to keep performance up?

[snip] So you think that a length of 850 lines won't lead to a performance problem? No, I don't think there will be problems. I also think the only way you'll ever find out whether it *will* be a problem in your system is by testing. [/snip] ^this to the max [snip] The site is not online
