Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 274,631 loops for a total of 5,492,620 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000001) milliseconds.
Avg difference (0.345) milliseconds per 274,631 loops.
Total difference 6.89 milliseconds for 5,492,620 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (7.3460) milliseconds and Code 2 was (9.7749) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.

Code

The first test, "non-referenced", was:

foreach ($GLOBALS['dummy'] as $k => $v)
	$v[0] + 1;
unset($v);

The second test, "referenced", was:

foreach ($GLOBALS['dummy'] as $k => &$v)
	$v[0] + 1;
unset($v);
