| # 2022-08-30 Triage Log |
| |
| A somewhat difficult week to triage due to the large amount of noise coming from two benchmarks. Hopefully this noise settles down in the future. Other than that, improvements much outweighed regressions with an average of 142 changes to instruction count averaging 0.7% improvement. There were no huge wins this week, however. |

| - Most of the regressions are happening in `html5ever-0.26.0` and `deeply-nested-multi` which have been noisy lately. The regressions are small enough that it's likely that we're seeing that noise here too. Subsequent changes show improvements of the same magnitude reversing the regressions here. |
| - However, there are some regressions that seem like they might be real, and they are all in `doc` profile test cases. The common query across the potentially real regressions is the `build_impl` query. This change seems like strictly less work, so I'm confused why this might be. |
| - Left a [comment](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/100748#issuecomment-1231842964) asking if anyone had any good ideas despite the cachegrind run not revealing anything. |

| - The primary regressions seem like noise (as they are reversed in the next perf run), but the secondary regressions seem like sustained regressions. |
| - This was a fix for an issue that broke some crates so the minor perf hit in secondary benchmarks is likely acceptable even if it is real. |

| - I looked for something obvious that might be causing this, and I couldn't find anything promising. |
| - It seems there are some PRs that are very likely *not* the cause. We can start by testing the others to see if they yield results. |

| - That PR is a correctness fix, so it seems likely that we'll be ok with this small regression. |

| - Looks like the primary regressions are due to noise. |
| - The regressions in secondary benchmarks seem to be more real though. Looks like the most impacted query is `eval_to_allocation_raw`. Seems possible that that might indeed be impacted by this change (just going off the usage of `eval_to_allocation_raw` in const eval)? |
| - Indeed, it was found that an unconditional `format!` was [causing this issue](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/100043#issuecomment-1230184985). |
| - This should be fixed by [#101154](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/101154). |
