- `client-go`: Improved memory use of reflector caches when watching large numbers
  of objects which do not change frequently. ([#113362](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/113362), [@sxllwx](https://github.com/sxllwx))

- 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. ([#112398](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112398), [@shyamjvs](https://github.com/shyamjvs)) [SIG API Machinery]

- Fix the problem where couple nodes becoming NotReady at the same time could cause master instability or even complete outage in large enough clusters. ([#88959](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88959), [@mborsz](https://github.com/mborsz)) [SIG Apps]

  - Speed up binpacking by reducing the number of PreFilter calls (call once per pod instead of #pods*#nodes times)
  - Speed up finding unneeded nodes by 5x+ in very large clusters by reducing the number of PreFilter calls
  - Expose `--max-nodes-total` as a metric
  - Errors in `IncreaseSize` changed from type `apiError` to `cloudProviderError`
