Comment (by darkdragon):

 There is no need to profile. {{{require_once()}}} and {{{include_once()}}}
 are slower than {{{require()}}} and {{{include()}}} up to PHP version
 either 5.1.x or 5.2.x. Since you support PHP 4.2, you'll being slowing
 !WordPress down for what might be a majority of your users.

 Also, I haven't yet had any problems with what you describe. Do you
 witness any plugins that require certain wp-includes files? I would just
 assume that unless someone else messed up that the files wouldn't need to
 use require.

 It should be assumed that wp-settings sets up and includes the files in
 wp-includes and no one else should do so.
