Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 281,591 loops for a total of 5,631,820 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000006) milliseconds.
Avg difference (1.638) milliseconds per 281,591 loops.
Total difference 32.76 milliseconds for 5,631,820 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (8.7035) milliseconds and Code 2 was (7.8190) 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)
	$v[0]++;
unset($v);

The second test, "referenced", was:

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