At launch that hadn't been optimized, which it has been quite a bit since then. We do need to optimize it further. It's actually React that is getting in the way here, but we don't want to cheat and break out of React because that would mean so pretty major disadvantages. We're thinking about building out either a separate animate() pipeline that works differently from render and just lets you use refs to animate things. Or, just optimizing further as there is some stuff we can do.
