I think you totally missed the point.<p>Let&#x27;s say that you have a page containing a billion little images. On every update, your React-enabled code needs to create a virtual DOM containing all those images. This takes time, regardless of whether the virtual DOM is fast. Hence my point.<p>And even if it may be only a few milliseconds for a hundred images, it will take seconds or even minutes for millions of images. And even if only 1 of the images changed. This is of course not acceptable.<p>Most programmers are already happy if it works for 100 images. However, imagine that the inventor of quicksort invented bubblesort instead, stating it is fast enough for 100 elements. From a CS point of view, this situation is just ridiculous.
