💡 What: Extracted the list items in ProgressPanel.tsx and LogPanel.tsx into isolated React.memo components.

  • In ProgressPanel, DownloadItem now uses a custom equality function to ensure it only re-renders when visual data changes, preventing unnecessary renders on high-frequency API polling or WebSocket updates.
  • In LogPanel, LogItem now relies on a stable client-generated ID for React keys (instead of array indices) to ensure optimal reconciliation when logs are appended.
  • Moved static formatting and coloring helper functions outside the component bodies to prevent reallocation on every render cycle.

🎯 Why: As the application handles high-frequency WebSocket events (progress updates and logs), rendering the entire array loop on every update is a significant O(N) performance bottleneck. React.memo ensures only the specific item being updated re-renders. Additionally, using array indices as keys in React can cause unpredictable behavior and performance degradation when list contents change.

📊 Impact: Expected to drastically reduce React reconciliation times and prevent CPU spikes when multiple downloads are active and emitting frequent progress/log events. List re-renders are now O(1) for updates instead of O(N).

🔬 Measurement:

  1. Start multiple concurrent downloads.
  2. Open React DevTools Profiler and record interactions.
  3. Observe that only the individual DownloadItem or LogItem components re-render when a WebSocket message is received, rather than the entire ProgressPanel or LogPanel component.

Extracted the download items and log items into isolated `React.memo` components in `ProgressPanel.tsx` and `LogPanel.tsx`. Used stable client-generated IDs for log keys instead of array indices, and implemented a custom equality function for `DownloadItem` to prevent unnecessary re-renders. Also moved static helper functions outside the component bodies to avoid reallocation on every render.
