Вопрос Will this speed up SE?

I have an unproven theory that "translation" slow down SE alot and I want to get your thoughts.

I searched my backup and found 3632 occurance of "$this->translate" in 510 files
and 2620 occurance of "<?php echo $this->translate(" in 452 files

Suppose you absolutely knows that your site is only be using one language. We can do something like this example

Code:

Before: <?php echo $this->translate('Online') ?>
After: <?php echo ('Online') ?>
 
Find "<?php echo $this->translate(" and replace with "<?php echo ("

DISCUSS!!!

yes the question is:

if one remove translation by hard code in the tpl no need for SE to visit language.csv will it be much faster?
