+ The benchmarks were run on an Apple M1 MacBook Pro against a remote preview server against a remote API backend with 100 iterations. The scenario can be summarized as loading Sentry, navigating to Discover, adding 4 columns, waiting for results, adding another column, and finally waiting for results a second time. The benchmark tests a rather strenuous recording scenario as the Discover data table is one of our most complex in regards to DOM nodes and mutations. A simpler scenario run consisting of navigation to four different "Settings" pages produced an increase of ~100 ms of total JS blocking time.
