## Performance logs

> [triage logs for 2023-04-04](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-perf/blob/master/triage/2023-04-04.md)

A large improvement in const evaluation (particularly for large types) in
[#109670](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/109670) and a large
improvement to many-paged rustdoc workloads in
[#109876](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/109876) by removing quadratic
behavior. Regressions are comparatively limited this week.
