    For example what is best for performance of the following:

    1:
    EventManager.SomeEvent("Hi");
    void SomeEventListener(string someString){}

    2:
    string someString;
    ...

    someString = "Hi";
    EventManager.SomeEvent(ref someString);
    void SomeEventListener(ref string someString){}

    don't worry about performance, stuff like this is a drop in the bucket. Only use the ref keyword, if you absolutely need to for your use case, since it can make your code pretty bug prone.
