...Right, but it's an extra I/O op (or more) just to pull in the sub out of the .al file, each on an individual basis...

Are the savings worth the cost?

Presumably that will depend on the individual script's use case.

If only 1 of every 1000 runs will perform the conditional require, then it's probably negligible. If 999 of every 1000 runs needs it, then it is probably not negligible.

If in doubt, benchmark!
