Anything under like 100ms load is instant to the user, especially a page load. It's a balancing act of developer experience vs performance. To split hairs over milliseconds seems inconsequential to me. I mean, PHP requires $ before variables! That's the real controversy :p

True, but it accumulates. Every ms I save on templating I can "waste" on I/O, DB, upstream service calls, etc.
