Across all providers, Bulk SaveChanges with Entity Framework Extensions consistently outperforms EF Core:
- Performance: EF Extensions cuts SaveChanges execution time dramatically, especially when handling large entity graphs.
- Scalability: By batching changes efficiently, Bulk SaveChanges reduces overhead and boosts performance for high-volume applications.
For applications where SaveChanges performance is a bottleneck, EF Extensions provides reliable speed and scalability across every major database provider.
