[Benchmarking workflow for dotnet/runtime repository](https://github.com/dotnet/performance/blob/master/docs/benchmarking-workflow-dotnet-runtime.md)

Start with the benchmark source at performance/src/benchmarks/micro/libraries/System.Text.Encoding/Perf.Ascii.cs#L55-L56 and the System.Text.Perf_Ascii report for EqualsIgnoreCase_ExactlyTheSame_Bytes. Reproduce the Mono AOT LLVM run using the commands in the Repro section, then compare the listed baseline and test commits to identify the cause of the 11% regression. Done means the regression is explained and a verified resolution or follow-up is recorded.
