I have an include file with about 6 lines of code, just text parsing. If I have to loop through 5000 records, is there a big difference between (a) calling this include file 5000 times, and (b) defining a function and just calling the function 5000 times?
Yes, there is a big difference. Including files is expensive, even with a compiler cache.
