 > [!TIP]
 > The local view for a given DbSet instance is created lazily when first accessed and then cached. LocalView creation itself is fast and it does not use significant memory. However, it does call [DetectChanges](xref:core/change-tracking/change-detection), which can be slow for large numbers of entities. The collections created by `ToObservableCollection` and `ToBindingList` are also created lazily and then cached. Both of these methods create new collections, which can be slow and use a lot of memory when thousands of entities are involved.

+These tools and extensions provide additional functionality for Entity Framework Core 3 and later.
 
 > [!IMPORTANT]
 > Extensions are built by a variety of sources and aren't maintained as part of the Entity Framework Core project. When considering a third party extension, be sure to evaluate its quality, licensing, compatibility, support, etc. to ensure it meets your requirements. In particular, an extension built for an older version of EF Core may need updating before it will work with the latest versions.
