How do I batch updates in GPUI?

It demonstrates how to wrap multiple state changes into a single model update to prevent redundant rendering cycles and improve responsiveness.

How does this skill improve GPUI rendering?

It provides patterns to minimize calls to cx.notify(), implement memoization, and optimize subscription updates to ensure renders only occur when state actually changes.

Does it support large data sets?

Yes, it provides implementation patterns for virtual scrolling to efficiently render long lists without overloading the layout engine.

What profiling tools are covered?

The skill includes instructions for using cargo-flamegraph for CPU profiling, Valgrind and Heaptrack for memory analysis, and custom performance monitoring in-app.

Can this skill help with memory leaks in Rust UI?

Yes, it includes specific guidance on managing subscriptions and avoiding circular references that commonly lead to leaks in GPUI views.
