Yes.  There is a definate performance hit, because Apache has to parse every
file, regardless of weather it is using an SSI.  This is *typically* not
that much of a difference (especially on faster machines) to where you
should worry about it.

I would, however, set this up for the site that requests it and only the
site that requests it.  Since they probably will be using them extensively
anyway.
