There is a small overhead, but it makes the code easier to read and
understand. You can look at the function name and get and idea of _what_
the function is doing instead of having to figure out _how_ it is doing it.

Regarding optimization, after you have written your application if you see
performance issues you can surgically optimize the spots that have the
issues and leave most of the code untouched.

To quote Don Knuth, "premature optimization is the root of all evil". Also
the article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Program_optimization makes some
good points.
