Performance Fixes**
Akka.NET v1.4.22 includes a _significant_ performance improvement for `Ask<T>`, which now requires 1 internal `await` operation instead of 3:

Akka.Cluster.Sharding.RepairTool**
In addition to the work done on Akka.NET itself, we've also created a separate tool for cleaning up any left-over data in the event of an Akka.Cluster.Sharding cluster running with `akka.cluster.sharding.state-store-mode=persistence` was terminated abruptly before it had a chance to cleanup.
We've added documentation to the Akka.NET website that explains how to use this tool here: https://getakka.net/articles/clustering/cluster-sharding.html#cleaning-up-akkapersistence-shard-state
And the tool itself has documentation here: https://github.com/petabridge/Akka.Cluster.Sharding.RepairTool
