Pretty big? I work with php apps which load > 500 php files per page 
request. Also on public serverhosts, with lots of load.

But if it's too slow for you, we can think of optionally concatenating 
the generally required files alltogether to ease your pain.
In some kind of Makefile.

(untested. just to get the idea)

Makefile:
BACKEND = sql
DB_ROOT = root
DB_ROOTPASS =
DB_USER = wikiuser
DB_PASS = fixme
WIKI_DB = phpwiki
ALL =  index.php lib/main.php lib/prepend.php ...

noop :
         true

install : install-mysql
         echo "read INSTALL"
         echo "browse to configurator.php"

install-mysql :
!if DB_ROOT
         mysqladmin -u$(DB_ROOT) -p$(DB_ROOTPASS) create $(WIKI_DB)
         mysql -u$(DB_ROOT) -p$(DB_ROOTPASS) -e"GRANT select, insert, 
update, delete ON $(WIKI_DB).* TO $(DB_USER)@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 
'$(DB_PASS)'"
!endif
         mysql -u$(DB_USER) -p$(DB_PASS) $(WIKI_DB) < schemas/mysql.sql

single-file : phpwiki.php

phpwiki.php: $(ALL)
         cat $(ALL) > phpwiki.php
# patch phpwiki.php to disable most require calls
	for $s in $ALL; do
           perl -pi.bak -e"s|require_once\('$s'\)|//$&|" phpwiki.php
	done
         echo "use phpwiki.php as your DirectoryIndex"

and so on...

I've done this single-file version for my autolisp standard library, 
with the help of a simple perl script. But I found no performance 
advantage, only administrative. Even on windows which has aching slow 
fileaccess.
