Basically just saves __index calls/caches colors

Need to investigate if this is even needed code anymore

I don’t understand why cancel all optimizations for :GetTable. It’s not part of the ENTITY metatable and can be used safely. I also don’t see the point in removing vector optimizations, as all they do is prevent creating new vectors.

Crap code for a pinch of performance. Entity __index does GetTable itself so its not that beneficial in places where you're only avoiding one __index call

I was also questioning if GetTable in this usage was efficient but I assumed the best. With that said, some of these index calls are ran every tick (conditionally), and I think there's merit in having these changes there.
