Reduce end-user latency and accelerate Temporal Workflows

What this post added

This post details techniques to improve workflow performance by optimizing response time, maintaining durability and reliability. It introduces the 'Early Return' pattern to split workflows into synchronous and asynchronous parts for faster user feedback, demonstrating a 40-50% reduction in latency. It also explains 'Local Activities' which run in the same process as workflows, saving round-trip calls to the Temporal Service and achieving 60-70% faster results. Combining both techniques can reduce workflow response time by up to 91%. The post also touches upon 'Eager Workflow Start' as a way to make workflows more local.
