I wish people would realize using pointers in go doesn't automatically mean better performance. You should really stick to using values and only use pointers if it's necessary/makes for better code/increases performance. Using pointers makes escape analysis harder and results in more pressure on the gc which can effects performance more than usage of pointers saves.
