I'm wondering if you could expand your README a bit to address further benefits of moving to a Jupyterlab integration from a bokeh server app running either standalone or in Jupyter notebook. The richness of the dashboard functionality is clear, but I am wondering if there are further benefits around performance and scaleability.

I have a bokeh server app in the style of a dashboard with multiple tabs. It is growing in size and complexity and the performance is gradually worsening. I think this is due to the way in which everything is kept in one document - reflow of the entire document can be triggered by minor user actions. The tab design attempts to give a lightweight SPA experience but is actually keeping everything on the client not just the current view.

Would migrating to Jupyterlab help this?

I personally don't have any thoughts on performance here. Our motivation was to get live figures within a JuptyerLab session so that they could be used alongside a notebook or terminal, rather than having a two-tab experience.
