💡 What:

  • Extracted DownloadItem and LogItem into separate React.memo components in ProgressPanel.tsx and LogPanel.tsx.
  • Provided a custom primitive-checking equality function for DownloadItem to accurately handle continuous API/WebSocket polling states.
  • Replaced array-index keys in LogPanel with stable, client-generated IDs (Date.now() + Math.random()).
  • Moved purely static helper functions (formatSpeed, getLogColor, etc.) outside of component bodies to avoid unnecessary functional recreation.

🎯 Why:
During active downloads, the backend emits high-frequency WebSocket events (progress updates, logs). Previously, these updates triggered O(N) re-renders across all items in the DOM list, which is a known React performance bottleneck, especially on lower-end devices processing many simultaneous downloads or dense log streams.

📊 Impact:
Reduces re-renders significantly. Modifying an individual download's progress now only re-renders that specific DownloadItem rather than the entire ProgressPanel list. Log additions only render the new LogItem rather than reconciling the entire array.

🔬 Measurement:

  1. Start multiple concurrent downloads on the frontend.
  2. Open React Developer Tools Profiler.
  3. Observe that only individual items re-render upon receiving granular progress/speed WebSocket updates, instead of the parent container and all sibling nodes.

Moves helper functions out of components and implements `React.memo` with custom equality and stable keys for high-frequency WebSocket data streams.
