Your work is famous! ;) I don't have an actual answer as far as benchmarks go. I've been converting all of my sites from php4 to 5 over the past 3 months stripping out &'s as I go. I haven't noticed any differences myself though. But then again I've been adding in type hints and visibility too so I'm sure that isn't helping. I'm always pimping Xdebug, so just remember it will show you where your real bottlenecks are instead of guessing. *shrug*
