What Hacker News says

Hey, that's my links list! :) Hope that's helpful! While it's probably not 100% relevant, you might also want to glance at some of the things I've done trying to benchmark performance for the React-Redux library itself, including running benchmarks in Puppeteer and capturing metrics like render times and FPS [0]. Now, my experience has been that I have to deliberately crank up the number of components on screen and dispatch absurd numbers of Redux actions a second just to get the FPS to drop below 60FPS, so I'm not sure how much that would be applicable to real-world apps, but at least you can see how I've tried to capture the values. As a general observation, I'd highly encourage folks to use the Profiler that's built into the React DevTools to view render behavior and find components that may be re-rendering when it wasn't necessary [1

] [2]. Also, Brian Vaughn has been working on a major rewrite of the React DevTools to both improve internal speed and add new features, and you can play around with it now [3]. Finally, if you _really_ want to get fine-grained, there's a little-known profiling/tracing API that can be used to capture render times in parts of your app [4] [5] [6].
