Comment (by steveglick):

 I should have read the last comment...

 >As we don't have an autoloader yet, the code base is not optimized for
 the use of an autoloader either. This makes performance benchmarks
 completely pointless, as the result is probably something along the lines
 of "performance without autoloader + autoloader overhead". The end result
 we're after is not to have an autoloader be included, but to have a code
 base that makes proper use of an autoloader. That is what would need to be
 benchmarked, not "old code + autoloader class".

 I was confused why everyone is talking about performance and not
 benchmarking anything, but this makes sense now.
