To expand a little:
working with properties vs. variables also carries a minuscle perf hit.
But the real thing to watch for is the code inside loops -
if there is a lot of swinging through the object model then
(toForm.oPage[xxx].oContOuter.ocontInner.myControl.Value for instance)
you should use one of the ways to get a direct reference.

In COM based situations working down the object graph is even more expensive
because of marshalling.
