Thanks for pointing this out. This is caused by the change to array_slice() as part of https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/e730c8fc90299789a7f551cb7142e182952d92e0#diff-497f073aa1ab88afcb8b248fc25d2a12R3014 . As a consequence of this change, an array_slice() on an array with rc=1 references will now not return these references in the result. (This is the correct behavior -- previously it instead dropped the references in the original array, which is not wrong either, but non-standard.) It looks like Wordpress is passing these arrays to call_user_func_array() with a function that expects a reference argument: call_user_func_array($the_['function'], array_slice($args, 0, (int) $the_['accepted_args'])); And this results in: nikic@saturn:~/php-src-fast$ sapi/cgi/php-cgi -c php.ini -T1 ../wordpress-4.1/index.php | grep Warning <b>Warning</b>: Parameter 1 to wp_default_styles() expected to be a reference, value given in <b>/home/nikic/wordpress-4.1/wp-includes/plugin.php</b> on line <b>571</b><br /> <b>Warning</b>: Parameter 1 to wp_default_scripts() expected to be a reference, value given in <b>/home/nikic/wordpress-4.1/wp-includes/plugin.php</b> on line <b>571</b><br /> So essentially, we're winning 5% because these two calls do not occur...
