Yes, a lot of advantages. One is speed, another is the ability to
store any kind of data including binary. Once you start using custom
properties you won't use fields any more for anything but visible
text. Accessing a custom property is faster than field access by some
magnitude, second only to script-local and global variables.
But I'm finding that a field stores binary data ok it seems, and using
it is instantaneous. I'm not sure if I would need it to be faster than
instantaneous.
It isn't really. Fields are probably the most inefficient place to store
data that you need to access a lot. Another advantage of custom
properties is that you don't have to hide a data-storage object and
script around it.
