Nope. A static page is served up immediately. No 404 processing
required. Even a PHP page is served up with less overhead than a PHP
page with 404 processing.

404 is not cheap, and can be quite expensive (relatively) if there are a
number of optional modules loaded.

And has to be found in the configuration - not required when the
resource is found.

Two loads - one failed attempt for the missing resource and a second
successful attempt once it figures out which page has to be loaded.

Maybe, maybe not. It depends on the server. But even if it is loaded,
it still has to be attached to the thread or process, the environment
initialized.

Completely unnecessary work, but ok if your site only has 200 hits per day.

The module must still perform cleanup after the script terminates.

Not at all unlikely nor irrelevant.

Creating them once with a script means the images are there from the start.
