There was a problem hiding this comment.
Good catch and nice to see another benchmark added to the list!

When I was adding a new benchmark for testing nested scope concurrency, the concurrency test was taking absolutely forever, plus I got a CLR crash inside the GC, apparently an out of memory error.
I figured out why...it turns out the concurrency benchmark has never tested autofac concurrency, because at the end of the benchmark method, after building it calls:
This doesn't block, so it returns immediately, and the GC can't clean up the tasks. The benchmark was only testing how fast we can add tasks to a list.
When we add the appropriate wait:
The concurrency tests run in normal time, and do measure autofac performance.
Here's the updated latest develop benchmarks, including for the new benchmark I added.
I'd suggest we run the updated benchmarks on the pending immutable changes before we merge those over.
