Currently when a plugin wants to get the location of something it calls getLocation() which returns a new Location object. In some scenarios this can cause enough object creation/destruction churn to be a significant overhead. For this cases we add a method that updates a provided Location object so there is no object creation done. This allows well written code to work on several locations with only a single Location object getting created. Providing a more efficient way to set a location was also looked at but the current solution is the fastest we can provide. You are not required to create a new Location object every time you want to set something's location so, with proper design, you can set locations with only a single Location object being created.
