Changes
Depends on #6829
While working on some performance fixes for Phobos we noticed some significant improvements by passing all
struct
s handled inside a tight loop asin
parameters into subsequent methods - this helps reduce message copying by allowing the "lower stack" to reference the memory previously allocated in the "upper stack"Since this handling is all synchronous, there's no cost to using
in
parameters in these areas - and we saw a significant upside in processing performance, as much as 10% in a single instance so far.Based on that work, I decided to give that a try with how we handle the
Envelope
payloads inside Akka.Actor - as these are alsostruct
s that are passed around in tight loops.This PR introduces some API changes but these should all be binary compatible, minus any libraries that intentionally override these methods - those will need to be updated to also include the
in
parameter on those methods.Checklist

IMHO - kind of looks like the benefits of this fall within the margin of error.
