Classes - File Sizes - Performance HIts

Post by mclarko »

OK I haven't gon OO mad, but have read that one disadvantage of using OO as opposed to a procerdural approach is a hit in performance. Well, I was told no more on the subject, and am left asking questions like:

How many classes can I use, and how big (Kb of txt) can these classes be made up of, before performance is affected?
Does commenting your code determine the speed with which a document is parsed?
PHPDocumentor e.g. requires a lot commenting an so increased file sizes. Does PHP parse over comments at negligible lightning speed then?


Any offers on the above?

TIA
