9. Settings Dashboard – Easy Tuning for Deployments
Centralized from multiple locations – registry, DB, config files
Orchestration dehydration settings (previously set in BTSNTSvc.exe.config)
Throttling settings (previously set in registry)
.Net CLR hosting settings for BizTalk (previously set in registry)
BizTalk thread pool settings (previously  set in DB)
Granular tuning settings at host and host instance level
Moved  MaxReceiveInterval from the group to the host level.
Orchestration dehydration settings and memory throttling criteria moved to host and host instance level.
Consolidated multiple settings into single setting
AgentThreadPoolSize, AgentThreadsPerCpu, AgentThreadPoolQueueLen became AgentThreadsPerCPU.
TransformThreshold, LargeMessageFragmentSize were 2 settings that governed how large a message should be before it gets streamed to disk – now consolidated to 1 setting.
MaxReceiveInterval had 4 settings, one for each service class (Orchestrations, Messaging, Isolated Messaging, MSMQT) – now consolidated to 2 settings.

10. Settings Dashboard – Easy Tuning for Deployments
Removed unused settings
Were not used (Example: Some file adapter settings were read from the registry, but never used).
Could be inferred from another setting (e.g. LargeMessageFragmentSize)
Improved usability
Dashboard view for the settings
Grouping the settings according to their level – BizTalk group, host, and host instance
All settings exposed thru APIs (WMI, Explorer OM) and UI uniformly
