🚀 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

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)
