The static Cache class uses Dictionary<Type, T[]> with lock() on every property/field/method lookup, including cache hits. In concurrent server scenarios where multiple threads share a CompareLogic instance (common pattern with singleton/Lazy<CompareLogic>), this causes lock convoy effects — all threads serialize behind Monitor.Enter even for reads. Replace with ConcurrentDictionary which provides: - Lock-free reads on cache hits (TryGetValue — the hot path) - Per-bucket striped locking only on first-time writes (GetOrAdd/TryAdd) - Thread-safe Clear() for ClearCache() Benchmark results (AMD EPYC 7763, 8 cores, .NET 10): | Threads | Original (μs) | Fixed (μs) | Speedup | Lock Contentions | |---------|---------------|------------|---------|------------------| | 1 | 54 | 36 | 1.5x | 0.005 → 0.004 | | 4 | 253 | 143 | 1.8x | 1.8 → 1.6 | | 16 | 1,138 | 747 | 1.5x | 20.4 → 4.3 | | 64 | 5,391 | 3,400 | 1.6x | 110 → 61 | In production (200+ concurrent ASE requests), the original pattern caused 30-second delays due to lock convoys during deep object graph comparisons. Behavioral change: None. Same cache semantics, same thread safety guarantees, same ClearCache() behavior. Reflection results are identical — only the synchronization mechanism changes.

Add MaxObjectDepth property to ComparisonConfig (default: 5) that limits how deep the comparer recurses into class object graphs. Previously, only MaxStructDepth existed (for struct recursion). Class recursion was bounded only by circular reference detection, which doesn't help with deep but non-circular entity graphs like: GrantRequest -> Entitlement -> Catalog -> Resources -> RoleScopes Changes: - ComparisonConfig: add MaxObjectDepth property (default 5, 0=unlimited) - ComparisonResult: add CurrentObjectDepth tracking - ClassComparer: check depth before recursing, increment/decrement This complements the ConcurrentDictionary cache fix for server scenarios with deep object graphs under concurrent load.
