If .htaccess files are enabled, Apache would check for their existance recursively, wouldn't it? Meaning, for a requested file that is 4 directories deep it would do 5 .htaccess existence checks.
Only if you ask for it. You can turn AllowOverride on or off for any directory. You would simply need it on for one directory. (I'm not saying it's a good idea. I'd recommend simply changing httpd.conf and gracefully restarting. But if you want to trigger off the existence of a file, you might as well use .htaccess.)
