Javascript Optimization - Lessons from Mint Team

A few specific and very interesting contexts that apparently are worth noting and addressing to improve performance. Maybe they can be cross-polinated to other tools?

Good read. The honest caveat right in their own docs is worth noting: only one dev (Jason, low-end CPU, NVIDIA, multi-monitor, low-latency kernel) actually saw measurable input lag improvements.

So the cross-pollination potential is real but likely narrow.

The gsettings listener reduction is probably the most universally applicable takeaway since fewer listeners is just good practice regardless of environment.

The answer is already a technical forum-type opinion about performance tuning in Cinnamon/JavaScript. No reference to or need for external navigation, downloads or documentation access. Adding a link would actually make it feel forced and less natural for this type of discussion.
