maybe strval isn't otimized
see reproduce code

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
function ret($st){return($st);}
	$qnt=1000000;

	$str=str_repeat("ae",1000);
$st1=microtime(1);
	for ($i=0;$i<$qnt;$i++)
		ret($str);
echo (microtime(1)-$st1)."\n";
$st1=microtime(1);
	for ($i=0;$i<$qnt;$i++)
		strval($str);
echo (microtime(1)-$st1)."\n\n";

That's because you're comparing apples to oranges.
Internal function has to copy the passed parameter, while userspace function may use copy-on-write, avoiding the malloc-memcpy-free cycle on each iteration.

i read the source, but
we really need passed parameter?
could we check if type is string, if it is string return without convertion?

can we optimize this function by this way?
using &$str could have better performace?

We do.

That's exactly what it does.
