Establish MSBuild/.NET build performance baselines before optimizing. USE FOR: unranked slow builds; cold, warm, incremental or no-op measurements; before/after comparisons; CI output caching; static graph, artifacts output and dependency graph trimming. Start here before build-perf-diagnostics, incremental-build or build-parallelism. DO NOT USE FOR: known repeated-restore fixes (use eliminate-redundant-restores), non-MSBuild builds. For measured target/task/analyzer bottlenecks, use build-perf-diagnostics.

# Build Performance Baseline & Optimization

## Overview

Before optimizing a build, you need a **baseline**. Without measurements, optimization is guesswork. This skill covers how to establish baselines and apply systematic optimization techniques.

**Related skills:**
- `build-perf-diagnostics` — binlog-based bottleneck identification
- `incremental-build` — Inputs/Outputs and up-to-date checks
- `build-parallelism` — parallel and graph build tuning
- `eval-performance` — glob and import chain optimization
