- Kube-apiserver: gzip compression switched from level 4 to level 1 to improve large list call latencies in exchange for higher network bandwidth usage (10-50% higher). This increases the headroom before very large unpaged list calls exceed request timeout limits.

- A new feature was enabled to improve the performance of the iptables mode of `kube-proxy` in large clusters. No action was required, however:
  

- Kube-proxy, when using a Service with External or LoadBalancer IPs on UDP services , was consuming a large amount of CPU because it was not filtering by the Service destination port and trying to delete all the UDP entries associated to the service. ([#130505](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130505), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG...

- Improved performance of `Endpoint` and `EndpointSlice` controllers when there are a large number of services in a single namespace by making pod-to-service lookup asynchronous.

* Pass cluster_location argument to Heapster ([#65176](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65176), [@kawych](https://github.com/kawych))
* fixes a memory leak in the kube-controller-manager observed when large numbers of pods with tolerations are created/deleted ([#65339](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65339), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))
