What if we pass something big, wouldn't it save us some space if we just pass the reference ?

You are passing a reference without the ref keyword, unless you pass a value type, which is usually small enough for copying not to be an issue. You don't understand what the ref keyword means, so all your assumptions are deeply flawed. Read up on ref please. What economy are you hoping to make here?

Yes, by definition, class instances are passed by reference. I've demonstrated quite clearly what the ref keyword allows you to do above.
