Is setting a bones Transform faster then setting it's WorldPosition?

I have this Gerstner Waves skinned mesh and I’m trying to optimize performance as much as possible and I was wondering about this

[DexterSOLMiami (Victor)]

So I ran a little test of my own and yeah setting the transform is definitely faster then setting the WorldPosition

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local oceanModel = workspace:WaitForChild("OceanChunk")
local bones = {}
local isOptimized = false
local lastSwitch = os.clock()
local frameCount = 0
local totalTime = 0

for _, b in ipairs(oceanModel:GetDescendants()) do
	if b:IsA("Bone") then
		table.insert(bones, {bone = b, originalPos = b.WorldPosition})
	end
end

print("Loaded " .. #bones .. " bones for benchmarking.")

RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function(dt)
	local start = os.clock()
	local t = os.clock()

	if os.clock() - lastSwitch > 5 then
		isOptimized = not isOptimized
		lastSwitch = os.clock()
		print("------------------------------------------------")
		print("SWITCHING MODE: " .. (isOptimized and "✅ OPTIMIZED (Transform)" or "❌ SLOW (WorldPosition)"))
		print("------------------------------------------------")
	end

	for i, data in ipairs(bones) do
		local yOffset = math.sin(t * 3 + data.originalPos.X * 0.1) * 2

		if isOptimized then
			data.bone.Transform = CFrame.new(0, yOffset, 0)
		else
			data.bone.WorldPosition = data.originalPos + Vector3.new(0, yOffset, 0)
		end
	end


	local duration = (os.clock() - start) * 1000
	totalTime += duration
	frameCount += 1

	if frameCount >= 60 then
		local avg = totalTime / 60
		totalTime = 0
		frameCount = 0
	end
end)
