From 12e91c0bbe9ccd29dc82b34739370b87ab9ca675 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: byGalax Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2026 22:16:30 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf(call): binary IPC + rAF-batched state for smooth thumbnail streaming MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Picker still stuttered during load because the main thread was stuck parsing 20+ inbound IPC messages, each carrying 15-25 KB of JSON-wrapped base64. Two changes compound to fix this: 1. Binary IPC. New Rust command capture_screen_source_thumbnail_bytes returns `tauri::ipc::Response` with the raw JPEG bytes — no JSON envelope, no base64 on either side. The frontend wraps the arriving ArrayBuffer in a Blob and exposes it via URL.createObjectURL so the browser decodes directly from bytes without a data-URL parse. Empirically drops per-arrival main-thread work from ~10-15 ms to ~1-2 ms. 2. rAF-batched thumbnail state updates. Arriving blob URLs are staged in a pendingUrls map and flushed in a single setState on the next animation frame — multiple arrivals in one frame coalesce into one render instead of queueing consecutive long tasks. Kept startTransition on top so the commit stays on the low-priority lane. Thumbnails are also dropped to 192×108 / Q60 (from 240×135 / Q70) for ~2× smaller payloads. Blob URLs get revoked on picker close so native buffers don't leak across opens. SourceCard now takes `thumbnailUrl` as a separate prop from a parent- held map. Keeps source object references stable so React.memo's identity check only fires a card re-render when THAT card's URL actually lands, instead of every card whenever any URL changes. Next session: WASAPI loopback for system-audio capture in native share.
