 - Reduce JSON serialization overhead by lowering the initial `JsonWriter` nesting stack size while preserving on-demand growth. ([#5591](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-java/pull/5591))
 - Reduce timestamp helper overhead by replacing unnecessary `Calendar` usage in `DateUtils` with direct `Date` creation. ([#5589](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-java/pull/5589))
 - Reduce Android startup overhead by using the default timezone directly on older devices or when no timezone info is available in the locale. ([#5587](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-java/pull/5587))
+- Reduce `SentryId` and `SpanId` allocation overhead by replacing their per-instance `LazyEvaluator` (and its lock) with a lightweight lazily-generated `String`. ([#5645](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-java/pull/5645))
