I can almost certainly say that normal parameters are faster, but in the 
same breath I can also say that I think the difference is academic. 
Unless the parse functions are either extremely badly implemented (which 
I find highly unlikely) or there are thousands of calls to these 
functions at every page view.

This is all based on the assumption that the PHP developers didn't do 
something really funky with their calling conventions, but that would 
surprise me a lot.
