Performance Chapter

[bebraw]

There should be a chapter to cover various performance tricks. I suppose both Webpack and React could be covered. In case of Webpack I can show how to speed up build using various techniques. There's a little bit about this at the book already but there can be much more.

When it comes to React it would be a good idea to show how to measure performance and what to do about the slow bits. Reference:

• Performance Tools - official documentation
• react-render-visualizer
• react-mixin-transformer
• render-flash-mixin - Port to a decorator?
• react-pure-render - PureRenderMixin ported to ES6/ES7 world

This would be a good place to discuss React rendering in more detail. Understanding that helps in improving performance when it's needed.
