Optional vs if/else-if performance java 8

Hello i have two samples of code

if/else if/else statements

private Object getObj(message) {
        if (message.getA() != null)
            return message.getA();
        else if (message.getB() != null)
            return message.getB();
        else if (message.getC() != null)
            return message.getC();
        else return null;
}

Optional statements

private Optional<Object> wrap(Object o){
    return Optional.ofNullable(o);
}

private Object getObj(message) {
    return  wrap(message.getA())
            .orElseGet(() -> wrap(message.getB())
            .orElseGet(() -> wrap(message.getC())
            .orElse(null)));
}

So my question is how these two compare in terms of performance (i have about 15-20 if-else statements on actual code)?

Is it worth refactoring the code readability vs performance or is a misusage of optionals?

Also what is the performance penalty in case the if/else-if statements grown to 100+?

Thanks in advance
