Well, I need more info to be able to do this. Right now,
you're declaring a managed "ref object" argument on your
InternalCall. This forces boxing on every value type
passed as an argument.

The naive implementation would look like this:

void SetPosition(MonoString* ms, MonoObject** mo)
{
	Vector2 pos = *(Vector2*)mono_object_unbox(*mo);
}

This is no better than the former non-ref version.
