I like to use protected fields in derived classes.

Yes, this is something we often do. However, when the class can be subclassed
publicly, using getters does add more robustness, especially for non-final
fields. This is something we do in a few places, e.g. PDFStreamEngine, but most
older code doesn't.

Using setters / getters is probably making the code slower

This was true in the early days of Java, but the JVM's JIT now has inlining.
