Direct Calls
------------
Using proxies is generally preferable to `component.invoke`, since proxies can perform "direct calls", if supported by the component; `component.invoke` doesn't. Direct calls are performed in the computer's worker thread, meaning they will return instantly. Normal calls are delegated to the main server thread, to avoid race conditions and other threading issues, which also means that normal calls will take at least one tick (i.e. 50 ms). Just to be clear: this only applies to component APIs.
