Optimizing Performance

Have you ever used Windows Vista? While some people were okay with it, most didn’t enjoy the experience - largely due to poor performance. This brings us to a key takeaway: application speed and responsiveness are crucial for delivering high-quality user experience.

In this chapter, we’ll explore techniques to optimize the performance of your .NET MAUI applications. You’ll not only learn how to boost speed and efficiency but also how to measure the impact of these optimizations. We’ll dive into powerful tools for performance and memory profiling using VS Code and wrap up by mastering how to prevent memory leaks that can slow down your app over time.

In this chapter, we’ll be covering the following recipes:

• Comparing performance in debug and release configurations
• Simplifying a collection item template
• Using images with an optimal size
• Using compiled bindings
• Loading data in asynchronous methods
