- Bumped `ProcMountType` feature to on by default beta ([#130798](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130798), [@haircommander](https://github.com/haircommander)) [SIG Node]
- Calculated pod resources are now cached when adding pods to NodeInfo in the scheduler framework, improving performance when processing unschedulable pods. ([#129635](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/129635), [@macsko](https://github.com/macsko)) [SIG Scheduling]

### SIG Scheduling

- The equivalence class cache has been redesigned to be a two level cache, resulting in a significant increase in scheduling throughput and performance. ([#65714](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65714), [@resouer](https://github.com/resouer))

* kubelet now accepts a --cni-cache-dir option, which defaults to /var/lib/cni/cache, where CNI stores cache files. ([#78908](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/78908), [@dcbw](https://github.com/dcbw))

 * by the garbage collector. Entries with reclaimed keys or values may be removed from the cache on
 * each cache modification, on occasional cache accesses, or on calls to {@link Cache#cleanUp}; such
 * entries may be counted in {@link Cache#size}, but will never be visible to read or write
 * operations.

- New `KUBECACHEDIR` environment variable was introduced to override default discovery cache directory which is `$HOME/.kube/cache`. ([#109479](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109479), [@ardaguclu](https://github.com/ardaguclu))
