New standalone debugger in 0.83 way too slow / laggy #54889
Description
Description
The standalone debugger in latest RN 0.83 is way too slow / laggy which makes it impossible to debug.
Steps to reproduce
- Simply create a new react native app (non-expo)
- Try debug it by pressing j on terminal
It will open up the standalone debugger tool but then we have to wait a good 1-2minutes until its responsive
It's also slow in showing the logs whilst testing on a real device. Way slower than before
