There is those who uses

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

Which will cause the server to work extra as it will parse all html files, of
which most usually don't have any php at all.

And it can mess up caching - as html files are usually static, whereas
php files have "on the fly generation times" - unless one is careful.
Can be useful, but not a good thing to do without looking at the
server load, as you mention, and bandwidth consequences.
