# 2023-09-13 Triage Log

An interesting week. We saw a massive improvement to instruction-counts across
over a hundred benchmarks, thanks to #110050 an improved encoding scheme for the
dependency graphs that underlie incremental-compilation. However, these
instruction-count improvements did not translate to direct cycle time
improvements. We also saw an improvement to our artifact sizes due to #115306.
Beyond that, we had a scattering of small regressions to instruction-counts that
were justified because they were associated with bug fixes.

Triage done by **@pnkfelix**.

* The impact here is [hypothesized to be](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/115401#issuecomment-1709461275) due to serial/parallel trade-off; we benchmark the serial case and observe a small regression, while the parallel case is observing an improvement of roughly the same caliber.
* Marked as triaged

* The single regression is to exa-0.10.1-opt-full
* However, nnethercote noted that this PR introduced broad (if small)
regressions to linked artifact (aka binary) sizes (in both opt and debug settings)
* not marking as triaged

* on its surface, the improvements to instruction counts here clearly outweigh the regressions
* it is worth noting that the cycle counts did not see the same trends;
there were zero improvements and 7 primary regressions to cycle counts.
* still, marking as triaged; this PR has gone through enough performance evaluation already.

* primary regressions were helloworld-check (incr-unchanged and incr-patched:println)
* marking as triaged; not worth investigating a rollup for that benchmark.

* primary regressions are to diesel-check (full and incr-full).
* This is fixing a soundness issue with the dep-graph maintenance; therefore, these regressions seem tolerable.
* Marking as triaged

* the big (>1%) primary regressions were to three check-incr-unchanged cases: cranelift-codegen-0.82.1, html5ever-0.26.0, and hyper-0.14.18
* the regressions seem unfortunate, but tolerable given the improvement to linked artifact sizes
* marking as triaged
