Opinion on ASP script execution time.

In order to profile my site and test the execution time of a given page I used the component listed here:

http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtech/122700-1.shtml

Upon running the test (numerous times) I was given average execution time of two methods i am thinking of implimenting for a corporate website.

Method A:
A standard mixture of asp and html with all html included in the given page except with headers and footers and menu being function driven.

Method B:
New method the overall skinning of the site is preformed by a function. I use asp to concantenate a string (strPage) that contains the html for the main body of that page. I then pass that value to a function called GetPage that outputs the page layout with strPage inserted in the correct spot. This helps seperate the actaul business logic from the presentation layer and allows me to change the entire look of a site by modifing 1 page.

Basically my question is that Method B (53.332 ms to execute) is obviously slower than Method A (37.998 ms to execute). However the bonus from using Method B is minimal at best since the look won't necessarily ever change. The one bonus is that if we wrap the site into a com object method B is more ready to do so. Basically I am wondering if 15.334 millseconds is a big deal. Lets say the site gets 1 hit a second (over-estimating) how much would this impact the system? I am basically just looking for opinions.
