 ### Fixes
 
+- Fix performance collector scheduling many tasks in a row ([#5524](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-java/pull/5524))
 - Session Replay: Fix `VerifyError` in Compose masking under DexGuard/R8 obfuscation ([#5507](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-java/pull/5507))
 - Session Replay: Fix Compose view masking not working on obfuscated/minified builds ([#5503](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-java/pull/5503))
