Raffael, object in PHP5 _are_ passed by reference. internally, objects are handles unique to a request, so all youre doing is passing a handle around. note, however, that simple variable access will _always_ be faster than method calls. this is true in C as well as PHP, except in PHP the effects are more noticeable since it is interpreted rather than compiled.
