The conclusion of the analysis:
C# Wasm AOT still has a long way to become a general and performant client side web programming platform. Note: The usage of the Uno.Wasm.Bootstrap toolchain may have affected the performance of some of the benchmarks. Thus, this analysis should not be regarded as a benchmark of the finalized product. However, note that the Uno platform is using ".NET 6 WebAssembly Mixed mode AOT/Interpreter" (source). 

Besides all the other improvements in EF Core 3.0, preview 9 includes fixes for more than 100 issues that we resolved since Preview 8.
