The big benefit of this for my work is being able to run sites on smaller and cheaper boxes every year. It's not just the speed, but they've made huge strides in the last couple of versions in massively reducing the memory use of different object types.

This is only being compared to last year's v9, but if you compare against v7 from a couple of years ago, the changes are huge.

And this only reflects the changes to the underlying framework compilation, and doesn't factor in changes to say the Kestrel web server and static asset delivery that have taken a ton of load away.

Intel are also regularly checking in changes before they release new CPUs now so that the framework is ahead of their releases and takes advantage of new features.
