Well... This update is speedy.

This update to Northbridge comes with a big performance boost. Under-the hood, I did the following:

• I've switched the container Prism used from Unity (no, not the engine) to DryIoc. This brings better performance for Prism.

• I've slightly re-tooled the Game Master so it follows the MVVM design.

• I've re-enabled multi-core JIT. It was disabled in the previous releases due to some technical issues I've encountered.

So, how much performance did it get? In simpler term, a lot. The launcher saw a small improvement. But the Game Master? It cut the time from the launch to the title screen by half. Even cache management saw a performance boost. To the point where the reset cache option was basically untraceable on an SSD. I might have to put a small animation on it so it doesn't look jarring. Imagine if .NET's Just-In-Time compiler reached maximum optimization...

When I was overhauling Northbridge, I wanted it to be speedy and robust. And with this patch, I've completed this long-term item with flying colors.

Anyways, here's the changelog:

• Re-enabled multi-core JIT.

• Switched Prism's container from Unity to DryIoc.

• Vastly improved performance for the Game Master.

• Minor memory usage improvements.

• Removed unnecessary libraries.

• Implemented a fail-safe when resetting or rebuilding the cache.
