Open Floor

  • @flixos90: Identified and validated the main cause of the regression with @spacedmonkey and it has been fixed. Will run another iteration of the same analysis for 6.1-RC3 today or tomorrow to verify that results have improved.
    • @olliejones: What was it?
    • @flixos90: Was caused by a bug in https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/39210. Research has not yet been published as wanted to see how the situation evolves, but fair to say that we got the perfect outcome and it shows how important performance analyses are. Will write a summary with concrete numbers up next week and publish after 6.1 launch.

Our next chat will be held on Tuesday, November 1, 2022 at 12pm EDT in the #core-performance channel in Slack.
