It seems 7-8 times slower than array_shift() and that is even without a
way to fetch the first value.
I tried
`$array = array_slice($array, 1)`
and
`$array = array_slice($array, 1, NULL, true);`

What about replacing the existing array with array_slice?

Hello,
array_shift() currently reindexes the array after shifting one element. The
reindexing has quite some impact on it's performance. I would like to suggest
an extra parameter to array_shift() which can be used to prevent reindexing.
From a few quick (and sloppy!) tests I get these results:
`reset($array); list($key, $value) = each($array); unset($array[$key]);` is
~50-150 times faster than array_shift().
Calling array_reverse() and using array_pop() is ~2000-5000 times faster.
If you agree this would be an useful addition I will create a patch.
