This method was previously allocating a string for each byte being converted and then allocating another string for the stringbuilder.ToString call. Instead: if >NET9 use Convert.ToHexStringLower else create stack alloc'ed char[] and put converted chars in there and allocate a single string from that

Is this faster than indexing into a pre-allocated array of chars?

Probably slightly slower, but I didn't want to duplicate HexConverter.CharToHexLookup, especially as this won't be used OOP once we move to net9

I wouldn't duplicate all of that either! I was just thinking of something like this:
private static char GetHexChar(int value) => s_hexChars[value];
private static readonly char[] s_hexChars = new[] { '0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7, '8', '9', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f' };

FWIW, that's definitely into the micro-optimization level. I agree that it's not needed for just netstandard2.0. 👍

2) Avoid ImmutableCollectionsMarshal, and just pass the span to Convert.ToHexString

This method was previously allocating a string for each byte being converted and then allocating another string for the stringbuilder.ToString call. Instead:
This method was accounting for 1.4% of allocations during the typing scenario in the razoreditingtests.ScrollingAndTypingInCohosting speedometer test. The final string allocation was only 0.3%, which is equivalent to what the new implementation should allocate.
