React Compiler(originally react-forget) is a build-time tool that automatically optimizes your React app by automatically memoizing your code. It only replaces the manual ceremony of useMemo, useCallback, and React.memo with automatic caching at compile time. So, it's fixing the problem they introduced by React itself or you we can call it a "trade-off" in a sense
I personally don't believe anything can beat hand-built and fine-tuned vanilla JS code, and in the benchmarks we see Gea beating vanilla JS implementation (for example in partial update or swap rows). One reason for this is Gea's compiler has special cases like row swap's to be as minimal calculations and DOM operations as possible. The compiler, also, is evolving to recognize more and more patterns, and compile them into a miniscule overhead.
One thing I borrowed from my earlier library erste is event delegation. Instead of creating event handlers bound to each DOM element (say, in a list render) which is memory-heavy and also consumes a lot of CPU cycles, Gea simply attaches one event listener per type on the body and uses a `.matches()` call to check whether that event applies to a given DOM element. This is one of the main reasons why Gea is so performant—there's no excess/unnecessary memory allocation or CPU cycles. This is also reflected in the benchmark results.
