Overview

As complexity of the admin grows, more media queries are being used. Most modern browsers can handle the increase in media query processing without issue, however Safari has a noticeable slowdown (Shopifolk; DM me for a video of the issue).

There are a number of places where components are rendered in a loop which contain a useMedia/useMediaLayout call:

function ProductRow() {
  const matches = useMedia('screen');
  return <div />
}

function ProductTable() {
  return Array.from({length: 50}, (_, i) => (
    <ProductRow key={i} />
  ))
}

These add up and quickly overwhelm Safari.

Since the queries themselves are often identical, it would be possible to attach only a single event listener per query in which to trigger the state update from. Testing of this approach in Polaris has shown positive results without regression.
