## Performance logs

> [triage logs for 2021-06-08](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-perf/blob/master/triage/2021-06-08.md)

Some good improvements, and a few regressions. No large changes.

Triage done by **@simulacrum**.

3 Regressions, 3 Improvements, 1 Mixed
1 of them in rollups

#### Regressions

Always go through the expn_that_defined query. [#86002](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/86002)
- Moderate regression in [instruction counts](https://perf.rust-lang.org/compare.html?start=ac3e680193a3e11e60b07840ffb1db12793de110&end=6c2dd251bbff03c7a3092d43fb5b637eca0810e3&stat=instructions:u) (up to 1.6% on `incr-patched: println` builds of `webrender-check`)
- Necessary for correctness, regresions largely limited to incremental.

Add variance-related information to lifetime error messages [#85343](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/85343)
- Moderate regression in [instruction counts](https://perf.rust-lang.org/compare.html?start=5b638c1d3751b7ab31cac9739add516bdf39e10a&end=35fff69d043b1c0f5c29894e7f4b0da8b039c131&stat=instructions:u) (up to 4.3% on `full` builds of `wg-grammar-check`)
- Seems to potentially be necessary, but difference from PR run suggests more
can possibly be done to avoid some of the losses noted on the final merge.

Revert "Merge CrateDisambiguator into StableCrateId" [#85891](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/85891)
- Moderate regression in [instruction counts](https://perf.rust-lang.org/compare.html?start=022720bfccd46400e69def42f4647fe4059ad951&end=2312ff1a850db449b79fd3c4b215395cd2598c25&stat=instructions:u) (up to 4.9% on `full` builds of `html5ever-opt`)
- Reverted due to performance concerns on the original PR ([#85804]), but does
not seem to have recovered performance. Suggested path is to re-land but with
measurements the original PR; potentially there are some performance
improvements that can be done there as well.

[#85804]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/85804

#### Improvements

- Remove CrateNum::ReservedForIncrCompCache [#85829](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/85829)
- Only compute the trait map once [#85905](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/85905)
- Miscellaneous inlining improvements [#85892](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/85892)

#### Mixed

Rollup of 13 pull requests [#85952](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/85952)
- Moderate improvement in [instruction counts](https://perf.rust-lang.org/compare.html?start=016e9b5e33ef1407bffb575ec63d24241912556d&end=a93699f20a433797a4b84787b9652300dd7b2ad2&stat=instructions:u) (up to -4.8% on `full` builds of `html5ever-opt`)
- Moderate regression in [instruction counts](https://perf.rust-lang.org/compare.html?start=016e9b5e33ef1407bffb575ec63d24241912556d&end=a93699f20a433797a4b84787b9652300dd7b2ad2&stat=instructions:u) (up to 2.9% on `incr-patched: println` builds of `cargo-opt`)
- Predominantly an improvement, some incremental regressions; does not appear
worthwhile to investigate in depth the exact cause.

#### Nags requiring follow up

* Follow up on regression in [#85343](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/85343#issuecomment-856819536)
