Is there any difference in speed when referring to a field in a method with &var versus var? Of course, I mean only when there is no defined getter/setter.

Um, I would imagine not...
...but I don't know for sure. :/

Going thru the getter and setter typically gets optimized away by HotSpot so I wouldn't worry about it. Plus internal to a pod, as long as the field isn't virtual and there is no explicit getter/setter defined, then we actually compile it down to field access opcode anyhow.
