To quote from my C++ How to....
Deitel & Deitel Software Engineering Observation:
For the combined reasons of clarity and performance, many C++ programmers perfer that modifiable arguments be passed to functions by using pointers, small non-modifiable arguments be passed call-by-value, and large non-modifiable arguements be passed to functions by using references to constants.
