Ok I wasn’t sure at first, but it seems like the performance issue I’m facing is partially due to ref counting. It’s not free!

I’m working in a system I didn’t design, that relies heavily on reference types and inheritance. Given the chance, I probably would have designed it differently, leaning more on value types.

LOL so yes ref counting was a bottle neck, but only because I’m an idiot and accidentally called my heavy quadratic calculation hundreds of times more than I needed to 🤦♂️

I wish this was easier to see in the profiler. But also: check your assumptions!
