+# 2022-03-01 Triage Log
+
+A relatively noisy week in performance measurements, particularly on the
+`externs` incremental benchmark. Based on the timing of the first noise, this
+seems to be due to [#93839], which makes me suspect this is related to PGO or
+inlining decisions of some kind. [#94373] might help.
+
+Overall a relatively unchanged to slightly good week, with no outright regressions and most
+changes relatively small.

+- Tries to tackle some of the noise we've been seeing in the `externs`
+  benchmarks.
+
+Avoid query cache sharding code in single-threaded mode [#94084](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/94084)

+- Primarily focused on bootstrap time improvement, rather than perf improvements
+  to benchmarks, but helps slightly with both.

+- This may also be noise; the `externs` and `coercions` benchmark are both
+  typically relatively noisy.
