6 Performance Optimization

1. Audit and Benchmark Before You Migrate

• • Profile your current app: Use built-in .NET profiling tools to establish a performance baseline (CPU, memory, I/O).

• • Document bottlenecks: Identify slow queries, heavy UI operations, and inefficient data access patterns.

• • Run targeted benchmarks: Capture before/after metrics to measure the true impact of .NET 9 optimizations.

2. Leverage .NET 9 Performance Improvements

• • Take advantage of new JIT and GC enhancements: .NET 9 brings faster startup, smarter memory management, and reduced allocation overhead.

• • Update dependencies: Ensure all libraries and NuGet packages (especially UI and file handling) are .NET 9 compatible.

• • Adopt new language features: Use C# 13’s performance-oriented syntax for cleaner, faster code.

3. Optimize Data Handling and UI Responsiveness

• • Async everywhere: Adopt async/await throughout your data access and UI layers to prevent UI freezes and boost throughput.

• • Virtualize large datasets: Use Xceed DataGrid for WPF’s async virtualization to handle millions of rows with zero lag.

• • Batch and cache operations: Minimize round-trips and redundant queries for faster data pipelines.

4. Fine-Tune File Compression and I/O

• • Streamline file operations: Leverage Xceed’s Real-Time Zip and Zip for .NET for high-speed compression and decompression—critical for apps moving big data or assets.

• • Use async file APIs: Reduce blocking and improve scalability by switching to asynchronous file I/O.

• • Profile disk access: Identify and eliminate slow disk reads/writes using .NET’s diagnostic tools.

5. Refactor for Maintainability and Future-Proofing

• • Embrace modular architecture: Break up monoliths into maintainable modules/services for easier optimization and scaling.

• • Clean APIs and MVVM: Use Xceed’s developer-friendly APIs and MVVM support to keep codebases clean and testable.

• • Automate regression testing: Ensure performance gains persist by integrating unit and performance tests into your CI pipeline.

6. Monitor and Iterate Post-Upgrade

• • Enable real-time monitoring: Integrate Application Insights or your preferred APM tool to catch regressions early.

• • Gather user feedback: Use in-app analytics and user reports to spot real-world slowdowns or edge cases.

• • Schedule regular reviews: Make performance reviews part of your monthly dev cycle to ensure ongoing gains.
