What I mean is whether writing something code in a file and then writing a require to it somewhere else is slower than writing the code in the file itself? (What about a require to a file that only has a require?)

Yes, it’s slower, but not by any magnitude of which you should care unless you encounter problems. This is called premature optimization. It’s bad. Instead, spend your time making a great app and use all the tools at your disposition. If one day it runs a bit slow, you can start looking for the bottleneck and speed it up, but until then, don’t worry about it.
