size of vhosts.conf affect speed?

I was informed by my previous host (Vservers) that it would be a good idea to keep the virtual host configuration file as small as possible in order to keep good performance for all the VH's.

My new host HostPro, has a different opinion - stating that I shouldn't bother keeping the config file as small as possible by taking out redundant commands.

Who should I believe?

Here are the 2 different vhost additions:

Old server:

<VirtualHost domain.com>
ServerName www.domain.com
ServerAlias domain.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@domain.com
DocumentRoot /usr/local/etc/httpd/vhosts/domain.com/htdocs
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/local/etc/httpd/vhosts/domain.com/cgi-bin/
</VirtualHost>


New server:

<VirtualHost domain.com>
DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/vhosts/domain.com/htdocs
ServerName domain.com
ServerAlias www.domain.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@domain.com
LogFormat COMBINED
ErrorLog /usr/local/www/vhosts/domain.com/logs/error_log
TransferLog /usr/local/www/vhosts/domain.com/logs/access_log
HostNameLookups off
<Directory "/usr/local/www/vhosts/domain.com/htdocs">
Options All
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin /usr/local/www/vhosts/domain.com/cgi-bin
<Directory "/usr/local/www/vhosts/domain.com/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>


Any suggestions are appreciated. I have 175 virtual hosts and I want to keep them running as smooth as possible.

Thanks.
