The extent of this overhead depends on whether you're running PHP as
a module or as a CGI. With CGI, the overhead is quite large, probably
too much unless you have a really meaty server or a lightly-hit web
site. For an Apache module, I recall a test someone ran > 1 year ago
that resulted in an extra ~4 % load for parsing plain html pages
through php (as opposed to just statically serving the html pages).
This person had set his server to php-parse the .html extension.
