Plugin performance vs. php in a form?
Is there any difference in performance (for example: speed) between using a plugin vs. creating a form containing php?

Re: Plugin performance vs. php in a form?
Probably insignificant.
There are some important differences in context. Plugins are executed at a different time to inline PHP, and some things work differently. There are things you can do in a plugin that you can’t do with inline PHP.
If it’s a simple self contained code snippet, inline PHP is probably fine. If it interacts with Textpattern, a plugin will be more reliable.
