Absolutely. Which begs the question - why bother? One of the only reasons I can think of is if you were moving from a static HTML site to a PHP site and you were already well indexed on Google, etc - you may want to retain those links and not cause 404's all over the place, in which case it makes business sense. But for most people the "obscurity" is simply fooling the wrong folks. I don't think you'll find any real benchmarks on this because they're so subjective and rely more on your hosting arrangement than PHP itself. But I'm sure you could simulate a stress-test for this quite easily.
