Description

Slowdowns in incremental benchmarks can often be due to increased query invalidation (adding extra query dependency edges, or making a stable hash dependent on more inputs). It would be useful to display a count/percentage of query invalidations on a per-queery basis, as well as a diff between the old and new runs.

Research direction

Start by tracing how rustc-perf records and presents incremental benchmark results. Check whether query invalidation counts are already exposed in the benchmark data, then determine how old and new runs are compared. Done means the report shows per-query invalidation counts or percentages and a comparison between runs.
