[PHP] Slow references?

2002-01-13 Thread Tino Didriksen
Is it just me, or is working with references slow? I have functions that loop through about 1 lines of text, generating stats on the content. When I pass the lines to the function normally, this takes 0.8 seconds. Passing by reference, or as a reference, both increase the time to 6 seconds.

copies are faster if you don't change the copied data since no copy is actually done. It is a shallow copy also know as a copy-on-write so you should just pass a copy in your case, I bet. -Rasmus On Mon, 14 Jan 2002, Tino Didriksen wrote: Is it just me, or is working with references slow?
