I don't know what the performance difference might be, because you probably
shouldn't be doing it anyway. Most of the point of Smarty is to keep code
out of your templates, or at least keep it to handling presentation logic
(which is what Smarty's logic is for), so you should not really ever need to
include a PHP file in your template.

Including template components is an excellent way to work, I use it for
headers and footers etc. If you're regularly wanting to include PHP in your
templates, either you've got your logic mixed up, or you should perhaps look
at writing a Smarty extension...
