Yeah, reducing native calls help sometimes, but stuff like IsClientConnected and GetConVarInt are trivial. They probably cost less than a microsecond alone. If you're reading these values in a loop it might be worth caching it outside the loop, though.

But I don't think this block of code posted have any expensive operations. I recently did a performance test with dynamic function calling within a plugin (attached). The average overhead for a dynamic function call was around 250-450 ns compared to 10 ns for a static function call. Even though the difference is big, we're still only talking about nanoseconds.

Everyone should try the profiler on their plugins to see how well their code is performing.
