It really depends on how much traffic you're dealing with.  If it's mild
traffic, I doubt you'd see any difference - obviously more traffic would have
a greater impact.

If I remember correctly, here are some details on the include/require family
(please correct me if I've made a mistake):

require/require_once
   -- compile time (using a cache will make the overhead very small)
   -- require_once() has more overhead than require()

include/include_once
   -- runtime directives (more expensive than any of the require()s)
   -- include_once() has more overhead than include()
