🚀 EF Core vs Dapper Benchmark – Real .NET 10 Test Results

I ran a full BenchmarkDotNet suite comparing:

EF Core (Tracked ✅ / NoTracking ❌)

Dapper (Raw SQL, no ORM fluff)

We tested:

• SelectById
• SelectMany (1000 rows)
• Insert speed
• Memory usage & allocations

💥 Results?

Dapper crushed EF in insert performance (65x faster)

Tracking in EF adds more overhead than you think

This is a real-world test, not just theory.
