Wouldn't it be better to join forces with the SplClassLoader proposal[1]? A C implementation of PSR-0 has been prpoposed [2] as well, and would be nice to get something like that into 5.next
However for your imminent performance needs, you should be aware that an hash map based autoloaders can be fast as well [3].
