Will using 'var' affect performance?

Question

Earlier I asked a question about why I see so many examples use the varkeyword and got the answer that while it is only necessary for anonymous types, that it is used noneth

Answer 1

For the following method:

   private static void StringVsVarILOutput()
    {
        var string1 = new String(new char[9]);

        string string2 = new String(new char[9]);
    }

The IL Output is this:

        {
          .method private hidebysig static void  StringVsVarILOutput() cil managed
          // Code size       28 (0x1c)
          .maxstack  2
          .locals init ([0] string string1,
                   [1] string string2)
          IL_0000:  nop
          IL_0001:  ldc.i4.s   9
          IL_0003:  newarr     [mscorlib]System.Char
          IL_0008:  newobj     instance void [mscorlib]System.String::.ctor(char[])
          IL_000d:  stloc.0
          IL_000e:  ldc.i4.s   9
          IL_0010:  newarr     [mscorlib]System.Char
          IL_0015:  newobj     instance void [mscorlib]System.String::.ctor(char[])
          IL_001a:  stloc.1
          IL_001b:  ret
        } // end of method Program::StringVsVarILOutput
