Performance: Loading many (smaller) views Vs fewer (larger) views

[eluser]dynZack[/eluser]
I like to keep blocks of code in separate view files and load them as needed in the controller.

Like for example breadcrumbs.php , toplinks.php, searchbar.php, userpanel.php, etc.

And then, for example, have in the controller:

Code:

$main_data['header']=$this->load->view('include/header', $data, true);
$main_data['top_links']=$this->load->view('include/top_links', $data, true);
$main_data['leftbar']=$this->load->view('include/leftbar', $data, true);
$main_data['footer']=$this->load->view('include/footer', $data, true);
$main_data['breadcrumbs']=$this->load->view('include/footer', $data, true);
...
$this->load->vars($main_data);
$this->load->view('include/template');

Is there such thing as "too many include files"? Does the performance degrade with increasing $this->load->view() ?
