GetComponent performance profile in 2017 LTS

[laurentlavigne]

I see my getcomponent allocate like crazy and suck up cpu so I ran tests.
done with trios of getcomponent thingy over 500 instances

getcomponent<>().v1=1f or float c1=getcomponent<>().v1:
1 trio

10 trios

var c1=getcomponent<>() however…

GetComponent<Stuff>().someVariable = thingy
is far better than

c.someVariable =trhingy
