Topic: Material Select's abysmal performance
Expected behavior
I have 9 instances of material select in one form. One instance has over 100 time zones. Binding my model to the UX should not freeze the browser.
Actual behavior
After running a performance session in Chrome, binding my model using $.val() to set the material select values takes 2.5 secs, during which the browser window freezes. This is is on a quad-core i7 laptop with 16GB RAM. That is insane.
Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.)
I traced this to the $.val function re-rendering the entire component, including all of its options. I fail to see why that is necessary. The component itself should stay unchanged, and only its state should be modified to reflect the newly selected value.
Honestly, I have found so many bugs related to this component so far, I am baffled that it was deemed production-quality by your team.
I have also had issues with dynamically updated select while instanciating it multipe times as well as destorying and rebuilding. Removing material_select from the site dropped my load time from 10sec to ~1sec.
I also create and destory an instance each time a fullcalendar click happends. a modal is fired and the user can add event information. each time I call the modal, I destroy, rebuild the option list, and call material_select again. with each full calendar click I get an increase in execution time by ~250ms. Very quickly the user is waiting 1,2,5,10 sec for the click to appear to register.
This drop down menu is the best! Please fix!
