What’s new for performance in .NET Core and ASP.NET Core 3.0 – Ben Adams
One of the biggest advantages of using .NET Core (besides cross-platform support) is the drastic improvements in performance. Because the .NET Core team was able to make minor breaking changes in the runtime and Base Class Library (BCL), lots of stuff was implemented much more efficiently. In this session Ben will dive into the performance improvements in .NET Core in the 3.0 release: runtime changes, JIT changes, intrinsics and a deep dive into some of the improvements making it the best release yet!

9 Best JavaScript Charting Libraries
Based on my benchmarking of .NET 5 & 6, it looks like many LINQ statements are twice as fast in 6.
The fourth preview of .NET 7 includes enhancements to observability in
the .NET implementation of OpenTelemetry, the addition of properties to
track microseconds and nanoseconds in date and time structures, new
metrics for caching extensions, performance-boosting “on stack
replacement,” APIs to work with .tar
archives, and additional features as part of an ongoing effort to
improve the performance of and add features to regular expressions in
.NET 7.
