Well, adding 4 bytes does not affect performance at all.

But please have a look at the modifiers() function.
The disassembly clearly shows that is constructs a BMessage,
askes the input server using <=5Fcontrol=5Finput=5Fserver=5F=5F=5FFP8BMessageT0>
where a BMessenger is constructed, etc.
This is huge overhead when moving the mouse.
