+# 2021-03-16 Triage Log
+
+Added two benchmarks over the past week to the perf suite - diesel and stm32f4,
+which are intended to add to the level of tracking for rustdoc and, for both, a
+focus on compiler trait machinery.
+
+Performance results for this week are mixed, but overall largely positive.
+
+Triage done by **@simulacrum**.
+Revision range: [861872bc453bde79b83ff99d443d035225f10e87..f24ce9b0140d9be5a336954e878d0c1522966bb8](https://perf.rust-lang.org/?start=861872bc453bde79b83ff99d443d035225f10e87&end=f24ce9b0140d9be5a336954e878d0c1522966bb8&absolute=false&stat=instructions%3Au)

+0 of them in rollups
+
+#### Regressions
+
+Shorten `rustc_middle::ty::mod` [#82964](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/82964)
+- Moderate regression in [instruction counts](https://perf.rust-lang.org/compare.html?start=066f01d81bfbed746f6b6cf27a0426d829e8e832&end=b3ac52646f7591a811fa9bf55995b24fd17ece08&stat=instructions:u) (up to 4.0% on `full` builds of `deeply-nested-check`)
+- Largely limited to diesel-doc builds, but a big regression there; left a nag
+  to followup. Likely caused by a change to inlining.
+
+Allow calling *const methods on *mut values [#82436](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/82436)
+- Very large regression in [instruction counts](https://perf.rust-lang.org/compare.html?start=4d76b4ca52a65d63ab83d82d6630f1df8ec05a93&end=f42888c15fd370b8bca4c5646ffc3aac3005dca8&stat=instructions:u) (up to 11.3% on `incr-full` builds of `packed-simd-check`)
+- Unfortunate and unexpected regression. Left a nag.
+
+Turn `-Z incremental-verify-ich` on by default [#83007](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/83007)
+- Very large regression in [instruction counts](https://perf.rust-lang.org/compare.html?start=56f74c52c1bb627ada01992787116054bf1e66e9&end=e7e1dc158c3de232750b568163f6941a184ee8be&stat=instructions:u) (up to 15.1% on `incr-unchanged` builds of `issue-46449-debug`)
+- Expected mitigation, essentially part of a soundness fix (though due to other
+  bugs in the compiler - this just adds asserts that catches those).
+
+#### Improvements
+
+Eagerly construct bodies of THIR [#82495](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/82495)
+- Moderate improvement in [instruction counts](https://perf.rust-lang.org/compare.html?start=5c6d3bf3896b465e15550f49c2861e3d18102270&end=61365c06250e2ba6e0a578ae990f055ac5339107&stat=instructions:u) (up to -1.7% on `full` builds of `tuple-stress-check`)
+
+Iterate on crate_inherent_impls for metadata. [#83082](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/83082)
+- Moderate improvement in [instruction counts](https://perf.rust-lang.org/compare.html?start=84c08f82b46986fcd5cbd1a637582bd1325fa970&end=9320b121b5b20d2201c9f5ec40fb3c241fcac6f0&stat=instructions:u) (up to -1.3% on `incr-unchanged` builds of `externs-check`)
+
+Tweaks to stable hashing [#83064](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/83064)
+- Very large improvement in [instruction counts](https://perf.rust-lang.org/compare.html?start=e7e1dc158c3de232750b568163f6941a184ee8be&end=acca818928654807ed3bc1ce0e97df118f8716c8&stat=instructions:u) (up to -12.4% on `incr-unchanged` builds of `ctfe-stress-4-check`)
