Hi Guys.  When creating methods in my custom classes I like to use the
old trick of returning "this" on a lot of methods so that I can chain
methods together like so

MyCustomClass mcc = new MyCustomClass();

mcc.method1().method2().method3();


I was wondering if i were to do this with my "setters"  (so my setters
had the return type MyCostumClass  instead of void) will that hurt
preformance?

I guess the problem is I don't have a good understanding for what
happens to unused return values.

Thanks
