Depends on the server and it's load. I've strung together some
rather large html strings and they aways take far less time than the
transient time on the internet. I used to use OB extensively until
one day I took the time to measure the difference. I don't recall
the numbers; but, I do recall it was not worth the slight extra
trouble to use OB.
Now, I simple assemble by html strings with $report .= "foo"; And
then echo $report at the end. It also makes the code very easy to
read and follow.
You might as well take it a step further. Change the above to:
$report .= 'foo';
This way for literal strings, the PHP parser doesn't have to evaluate
this string to determine if anything needs to be translated (e.g.,
$report .= "I like to $foo"). A minimal speedup, but nonetheless...

You are really asking an HTML question, if you think about it.
At the PHP level, either use output buffering or assemble all your
html string as a variable and
then echo it. The goal is to compress the string into the minimum
number of packets.
Yes, but do so smartly. Excessive string concatenation can slow
things
down as well. On most pages you probably won't notice much
difference,
but I have seen instances where the difference was painfully obvious.
