# Objective
Working with `World` is painful due to lifetime issues and a lack of
ergonomics, so you may want to delegate to the system API. Your current
options are:
- `world.run_system_once`, which initializes the system each time it's
called (performance cost) and doesn't support `Local`. The docs
recommend users not use this method outside of diagnostic use cases like
unit tests.
- `world.run_system`, which requires you to register the system and
store the `SystemId` somewhere (made easier by implementing `FromWorld`
for a newtyped `Local`, unless you're in e.g. a custom `Command` impl).
These options work, but you're choosing between a performance cost and
an ergonomic challenge.
## Solution
Provide a cached `run_system` API that accepts an `S: IntoSystem` and
checks for a `CachedSystemId<S::System>(SystemId)` resource. If it
doesn't exist, it will register the system and save its `SystemId` in
that resource.
In other words, it hides the "save the `SystemId` in a `Local` or
`Resource`" pattern as an implementation detail.
