[PERFORMANCE] [BUG] @EntityId Annotation creates a lot of garbage over time

[BambooBandit]

I noticed that after adding the @EntityID annotation to this component class

final public class EntityClusterChildCom extends Component
{
    @EntityId public int parentID;
    public boolean top;
}

my game started to generate a lot of garbage, inducing a GC once per minute.

When I removed the annotation, the GC's dropped down to occuring .13 times per minute

visualVM says that all the garbage is Integer

This behavior seems strange and unintentional, so I thought I would let y'all know.
For reference, this component is created 18949 times, Artemis version 2.3.0.

EDIT
I think i boiled the issue down to this specific line of code.

artemis-odb/artemis-core/artemis/src/main/java/com/artemis/link/IntFieldMutator.java

Line 12 in 51628b3

return (Integer) f.get(c);

Is there anything that can be done to remove this typecasting?
