| 2 | + |
| 3 | +Overall, a bit more noise than usual this week, but mostly a slight improvement |
| 4 | +with several low-level optimizations at MIR and LLVM IR building landing. Also |
| 5 | +less commits landing than usual, mostly due to GitHub CI issues during the week. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +Triage done by **@simulacrum**. |

| 35 | +Most likely expected impact from running more code. Impact is small, and |
| 36 | +possibly limited to only secondary benchmarks: primary benchmark impact to libc |
| 37 | +*might* be noise, though it's hard to tell. |

| 49 | +Still tracking down full set of root causes, but seems likely that at least the |
| 50 | +doc impact was due to changes in ByteStr (probably because rustdoc displays a |
| 51 | +lot of `Path`s which use ByteStr under the hood?). Some of the other impact has |
| 52 | +unclear origin at this point. |

| 91 | +Changes look maybe slightly above noise threshold but not by much. Possibly |

| 149 | +Perf regressions look close to noise thresholds (though maybe not entirely |
| 150 | +noise). Regardless I don't think it's worth trying to iterate on the specific |
| 151 | +set of symbols too much, it's effectively neutral (mean including non-relevant |
| 152 | +is +0.01% on instructions, +0.00% on cycles). |
