With the React Compiler, our component code is transformed at build time to automatically apply various forms of memoization. This changes the runtime semantics of our code a little bit and therefore could surface new bugs in the next release cycle in case any components fail to follow the rules of React. See https://react.dev/learn/react-compiler for more information.
This results in a small bundle size increase and modest performance gains, but I think it's worth it given the potential for larger performance gains once we tune the component structure a bit more.
