- 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.

- Added alpha support for asynchronous Pod preemption.
  When the `SchedulerAsyncPreemption` feature gate is enabled, the scheduler now runs API calls to trigger preemptions asynchronously for better performance. ([#128170](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128170), [@sanposhiho](https://github.com/sanposhiho)) [SIG Scheduling and Testing]
