When you're validating only one parameter, the framework takes up more space than the declarative parts. But as you start adding more parameters the framework pieces grow at a much slower rate than the declarative parts. But with your code, you'll be adding another "or die" for each parameter.

Anyway, I don't think you have to use it, but I think your optimizations here are seriously premature. You should be using some sort of module for this stuff, not hand-coding it over and over and over, especially since you say you use it everywhere. You could use a source filter if you're really dead set on maximum speed.
