As I said to Roman: Sorry but that still doesn't answer my question. That answer the question of "why use bundling?". Also, what you exposed shows that the bundling process that you're currently using needs to be updated to take in consideration the inclusion of namespaces in PHP. > 2) I was under the impression namespaces were introduced to improve code > > maintainability.

If that's the case, and if it was my problem, I'll be facing two possibilities: 1) I've chosen the wrong language or platform for this app 2) I did a really poor design of the app where I either never took performance into consideration, or my performance estimates where completely wrong.
