 ## Unreleased
 
 * Performance improvements
+  * improve algorithm used to push to pending queue from O(n*log(n)) to O(log(n)) [#365](https://github.com/webrtc-rs/webrtc/pull/365)
   * reuse as many allocations as possible when marshaling [#364](https://github.com/webrtc-rs/webrtc/pull/364)
   * The lock for the internal association was contended badly because marshaling was done while still in a critical section and also tokio was scheduling tasks badly [#363](https://github.com/webrtc-rs/webrtc/pull/363)
