I would leave it as const Type &. If you think your compiler is not
smart enough to make a local copy of what x refers to when Type when
that's likely to improve performance, you could use something like
this:
template<typename Type>
void foo(const Type & arg_x)
{
typename boost::call_traits<Type>::param_type local_x = arg_x;
...
}
