A cartoon guide to performance in React
summary
Focuses on render-cycle performance rather than production-build tips and shows concrete mechanisms: virtual DOM batches DOM changes to reduce reflows, using keys for stable identity to avoid full-list updates when reordering, using shouldComponentUpdate + immutability to let cheap reference checks skip subtrees, and moving subscriptions or connect lower in the tree to avoid bubbling updates; includes examples of when each technique saves time and when it doesn’t, and warns to measure impact for real workloads.
