Entity Framework has a number of ways to optimize your queries. In this post, I explore a number of ways to make your queries a little bit faster. 

Introducing fuite: a tool for finding memory leaks in web apps 

.NET 6 vs .NET 4.8 GC stats - ~64% shorter max GC pause times (due to 1 letter removed in runtime) 

Overall it’s pretty clear that .webp images are smaller and more efficient. 

.NET 6 vs .NET 5: up to 40% speedup! 

"We migrated Stack Overflow's ad server from .NET 4.6.2 to .NET 5.0 and we are testing it on a canary server in production. We are seeing big improvements in memory usage and in server response times. It wasn't the main goal of the migration, but definitely a nice to have" / Twitter 

The median response time has dropped almost 60% (from 5.5 - 7ms previously to about 2.5ms after). 

For .NET 6, we have made FileStream much faster and more reliable, thanks to an almost entire re-write. For same cases, the async implementation is now a few times faster!
