.me is dramatically faster than React and Zustand – Here are the numbers
The article compares the performance of a new state management library called '.me' against the typical React + Zustand approach. The benchmarks show that '.me' is orders of magnitude faster, especially as the state size grows.
Why it matters
The article highlights the potential performance limitations of popular state management solutions like React and Zustand, especially for large-scale applications. The dramatic speed improvements shown by '.me' could be a game-changer for developers looking to build highly responsive and scalable user interfaces.
Key Points
- 1.me uses an inverted dependency graph to update only the necessary nodes, avoiding Virtual DOM diffing and unnecessary re-renders
- 2For a 5,000 node update, .me takes 0.013 ms compared to 50-300 ms for React + Zustand
- 3.me's performance stays almost flat even with 10,000 nodes, while React + Zustand performance degrades quickly
- 4The speed advantage is measured in public mode, and performance drops when using structural secrets (still needs optimization)
Details
The article presents a new state management library called '.me' that claims to be dramatically faster than the typical React + Zustand approach. The author ran real-world benchmarks comparing the two and found that '.me' is 10-100x faster for simple state updates, over 2000x faster for updates with 5,000 nodes, and over 3000x faster for broadcasting changes to 1,000 items. This performance advantage is due to '.me' using an inverted dependency graph to update only the necessary nodes, avoiding the reconciliation and diffing work that React and Zustand have to do. The author notes that the performance advantage is measured in public mode, and drops when using structural secrets, which still needs optimization. But for fast, semantic state management without encryption, '.me' is currently one of the fastest options available.
