    Does having an empty htaccess file do anything?

    In what context?

    Sometimes scripts ask you to create a blank .htaccess file so the script can write their own instructions there.

    Otherwise Apache does use a little bit of overhead reading the (empty) file. People who are Apache optimization freaks often mention eliminating htaccess files whenever possible since extra steps are needed to process them with each page load.
