I've read comments online (here on HN) that Github has been rewriting their UI in React and that it's got slower since. I have no knowledge if this is true or not (ie React -> speed direct correlation), and my own projects are small enough not to see any performance impact.

Does anyone have concrete information?

They just pushed a new redesigned page for pull request diffs- must have bloated the DOM.

I still see a little "try the new experience" link on the PR diff page (top right of page) so the rollout might be gradual. I won't click.

I am such a masochist that I actually click those buttons. If it's good, great, if it's shit, I have time to adjust before they foist it upon me anyway

I tried it! I like it generally, but it’s too buggy. The whole diff explodes if you expand to more lines (for example). It’s easy to switch back.

I am on insider previews and betas for all apps I use. You're not alone.

I prefer to delay the pain as much as possible instead
