Overhead of objects

I'm wondering what the overhead is when creating objects, the project
I'm currently working on would require many object creations, and I need
to figure out if it's best to use functions or to use classes so what I
want to know is when doing

$foo = new bar;

how much impact would this have on the system if used on a large scale
with lots of objects possibly multiple instances of each in memory at
one time.

Or you are a troll, or you are too lazy to use the search groups at
google.com to find recent discussions on this topic.

(Anyway, i think your script would have much more important bottlenecks
than the (not) usage of classes.)

Is that your way of saying you don't know?
