Are there any performance implications to including every header?

Lets say I want to use hex() function. I know it is defined in <ios> header and I also know that it is included in <iostream> header. The difference is that in <iostream> are much more functions and other stuff I don't need.

From a performance stand-point, should I care about including/defining less functions, classes etc. than more?

If the standard says it is defined in header <ios> then include header <ios> because you can't guarantee it will be included in/through any other header.
