As with virtually every release, 6.5 brings a raft of performance improvements. In their official post on the WordPress website, they site over 110 performance enhancements for the post and site editor. This includes impressive improvements to load time (2 times faster than 6.4) and input processing speed (up to 5 times faster than 6.4).
Major improvements come from a combination of many factors, including:

Other changes include:
One big change is the introduction of the Interactivity API. This will allow developers to create interactive elements in blocks without the potential to hamper performance that comes with 3rd party options.
