I've started leaving the closing ?> tag out of my scripts.
That way there's no chance for me to accidently type an extra character or line break.
It's actually more efficient (albeit probably insignificantly) as PHP doesn't have to jump out of parse mode.
Personally I think this is bad practice and if you start noticing this difference in speed you have too many files to parse anyways... and you are not using a opcode-cache.
Personally, I started doing this as well. Especially since it's best practice/recommended by the Zend Framework people.
In regard to parsing files - I think the "setback" rather comes from how you are including (include, require, require_once) them. For those interested, there are a couple interesting threads over on pear-dev (search "allfiles" ;-)).
