I agree measurements would be ideal.

Having said that, even if it makes no performance difference, I think
it is reasonable to split things (within reason) and makes a bunch of
other things easier, plus sometimes one can enforce particular
conventions in the separate header (like I did when introducing
`compiler_attributes.h`).
