title: performance and the use statment PHP, Laravel 4.x
body: <p>Are there performance considerations when importing classes with the <code>use</code> statement in PHP and more specifically laravel 4.x ?</p>
  
  <p>for example often times i have many <code>use</code> statements in my controllers as such:</p>
  
  <pre><code>use OrganisationController;
  use Input;
  use Redirect;
  use Validator;
  use View;
  use Organisation;
  use Sentry;
  use User;
  use Str;
  use Lang;
  use Application;
  use Job;
  use Upload;
  
  
  class ApplicationController extends OrganisationController {
  
  ...
  </code></pre>
