Putting all your database functions into one file that can be include'd from your web application or from your AJAX response scripts seems like a reasonable thing to me.

Whatever overhead there is to JSON encode/decode, the alternative of not decoding/encoding correctly is not an option... I doubt that it's a significant performance bottleneck, at least in PHP5 where JSON is in C. If you're in PHP4 with JSON in PHP script code, it could be "slow" Only you on your hardware in your application with your needs can determine if "slow" is "too slow" or "acceptable" -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
