Assuming there is not function in myfunction.php, and it's just raw
PHP/HTML code...
This is slower, UNLESS you have something like Zend Cache (or whatever
it's called now) *AND* that is configured to not check filemtime on every
hit...
At that point, this could probably be faster.

The overhead for a function is not zero, but it also depends a little bit
on what arguments you are passing to the function.
Have you actually tried it yet, either way?
Cuz I suspect you are worrying over a lot of nothing...
Try it the cleanest most maintainable way.
Worry about performance after it fails.
"Look before you leap" is good advice, but not when don't have enough data
to "look" -- Find out if it's "too slow" then make an informed decision.
Especially for 6 lines of code.
5,000 iterations isn't gonna kill you, I'll bet.
