How large can the PHP page that has multiple sections to it be? 50 kb, 150kb, 200kb or something only under 20kb?
Large PHP pages wouldn’t take a long time to load on the user’s browser, because the server won’t send any HTML code or images to the browser for other webpages - if you check view source on one of your pages, that’s all it will return to the user’s browser. So don’t worry about having pages with lots of pictures.
However, all PHP files must be parsed by the server before they can return HTML to the browser. If the PHP files are large, this will take longer to do, resulting in a slight slowdown (but it won’t be noticeable unless the pages get REALLY huge). Unless we’re talking about files in the 1MB+ range, you won’t really notice any performance difference.
