Performance Improvements in .NET 6

devblogs.microsoft.com

These posts are a big highlight of every .NET release, you can tell Stephen Toub puts a ton of work into them. Can't wait to give the profile-guided optimization a try.

Please let us know how well (or poorly) it works for you.

I will, thanks!

Am I correct in thinking that PGO documentation will be coming later as part of the official release? Searching for DOTNET_TieredPGO (mentioned in Stephen's post) doesn't turn up much.

Might give it a spin on Preview 7 this week regardless, Stephen's post has more than enough to get started :)

Yes, we need to provide more guidance.

For now, you might find more info by searching for COMPlus_TieredPGO. The DOTNET_ prefix is a recent addition.
