OK, not quite right, but according to the comments on
this page:
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/language.references.php#language.references.whatare
it is slightly slower to pass by reference (believe it
or not) which is what I was thinking of originally.
That page also has lots of other interesting comments
including...

...at the point that it is modified.
Of note on this page:
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/language.references.pass.php
call-time pass by reference is deprecated!
