4. Monitoring Ready: Built-in performance and memory monitoring
5. Windows Optimized: Specific optimizations for Windows terminals

Usage Examples

Using Optimized Components

// Replace MenuList with OptimizedMenuList
const OptimizedMenuList = require("./components/common/OptimizedMenuList.jsx");

// Use with memory management
const MemoryManagedComponent = withMemoryManagement(MyComponent, {
	componentName: "MyComponent",
	trackMemory: true,
	memoryThreshold: 50 * 1024 * 1024, // 50MB
});

// Virtual scrolling for large datasets
<VirtualScrollableContainer
	items={largeDataset}
	renderItem={renderItem}
	overscan={10}
	showScrollIndicators={true}
/>;

Memory Management

// Use memory management hooks
const { addCleanup, executeAsync } = useMemoryManagement();

// Add cleanup functions
addCleanup(() => {
	// Cleanup code here
});

// Execute async operations with cancellation
executeAsync(
	() => fetchData(),
	(result) => setData(result),
	(error) => setError(error)
);

Memory Leak Detection

// Enable memory leak detection
const { detector, getReport } = useMemoryLeakDetection("MyComponent");

// Get memory report
const report = getReport();
console.log("Memory usage:", report.statistics);
console.log("Recommendations:", report.recommendations);
