You pay for that convenience in compilation time. On my dual Celeron 400 it 
adds a second to the compile time of a cpp when I include all the headers 
instead of only the DOM_Element.hpp that I need. If you have many cpp files 
that include the header and maybe several more libraries that you include in 
the same way, things can easily get (very) expensive.
