Who cares?
Just to point out the obvious, if you're not using a compiler cache, size
does matter. Of course, if you're to the point where the difference is
important to you, you're to the point where you should figure out how to
use APC or something. :-)
I agree. I can't imagine that having more whitespace characters in a script will significantly effect the performance of said script. I would guess that there would always be more significant issues to deal with in regards to performance- php compiling and optimizing SQL queries being chief in my mind. Its silly and inefficient (work-wise) to optimize the small issues in programming. Just remember, "Premature optimization is the root of all evil." (Knuth)
