Summary
As a user, who is trying to troubleshoot one of many performance issues, it would be good for there to be some reference documentation to refer to on regularly seen performance issues as to help me get back to my intended task as soon as possible.
This would help for in the PowerShell Discord/Slack and in forums as a pointer for people to look at and suggest additions to as well.
Details
Examples of some performance issues that I have seen been raised before have included & is not limited to
Interactive/non interactive scenario
- Profile loading timing issues (can point to Steve's Blog post for some additional pointers at speeding up profile loading)
- Network drive and Onedrive related performance issues
- Tab completion randomly becoming slow
The above examples & no doubt many others as they arise would likely help in issue triage & resolution across PowerShell team owned repos and could be a valuable asset going forward, however I realise this is not a small area to write about in depth and continually keep updated so right now is an aspirational ask from not only the team but the community as well.
