There is a huge drop of overhead (more than half) if we do 
"field.setAccessible(true)" for the field that we want to access.

I did a simple experiment and that worked well with method as well.

The results are (note that the method just add 1 to an integer):
{code}
100000000 regular method calls:26 milliseconds.
100000000 reflective method calls without lookup:4029 milliseconds.
100000000 accessible reflective method calls without lookup:1810 milliseconds.
{code}
