Using references does not speed up PHP. It does that already
internally, if I'm not mistaken. The point of my post was that
assigning values to tree arrays are in general faster than a full
array copy.

In general, Java's basic types typically correspond with types that can
be dealt with atomically by processors, or are small enough to be passed
by value. This already makes things a lot easier.
I've had another reason for the differences explained to me.
What about objects?
class Foo {
public $foo;
}
function test($o) {
$o-foo-foo-foo = 2;
}
$bar = new Foo;
$bar-foo = new Foo;
$bar-foo-foo = new Foo;
test( $bar );

Also... is it better to pass an object as a parameter rather than many
values?

I think the point is that the php language itself does not provide solid
construct for writing rock-solid code. Yes, there are many
programmers/hackers that can, but the effort they put is huge.
it's so easy to break well-written bug-free code, that's impossible for
developers to share libraries,

With objects less copying occurs because the object value (zval) data is
actually just a pointer and an id that for most purposes works as a
pointer.
However, it should be said that
So it sounds like the general answer is that if you pass a complex array
to a function by value and mess with it, data is duplicated for every
item you modify and its direct ancestors up to the root variable but not
for the rest of the tree.

No, I hadn't seen that. Thanks for pointing this out, it looks like
exactly what I was trying to reinvent...

Many PHP features should be language constructs, but they were made as
language hacks.
__construct is evil, as like any other language hack
It does not provides a safe fundation to build safe abstractions, reusable
and extendibles components, which leads to the lack of PHP libraries.

Constructors are standard feature in many languages. There's nothing

It seems not, though a zval has a fixed size. What that size is will
