What kind of performance cost does the {include file=""} tag in smarty have?
I am creating a site with Smarty and trying to decide how much I should break apart my html. The more i break apart different sections (ie menu, header, footer, etc...) the easier it is to read for me but what kind of performance hit does the site take when using multiple {include file=""} statements?
Does the template engine access all these files everytime a page is requested or does it just compile them into one file the first time and then send that subsequent times?
