Cache reflect.MethodByName

The isolated benchmark for the function is obviously much faster:

```bash
name                old time/op    new time/op    delta
GetMethodByName-10    1.21µs ± 7%    0.23µs ± 5%   -81.42%  (p=0.029 n=4+4)

name                old alloc/op   new alloc/op   delta
GetMethodByName-10      680B ± 0%        0B       -100.00%  (p=0.029 n=4+4)

name                old allocs/op  new allocs/op  delta
GetMethodByName-10      20.0 ± 0%       0.0       -100.00%  (p=0.029 n=4+4)
```

But more pleasing is the overall performance looking at the site benchmarks:

```bash
