My point was that that is enormously slower than storing a reference to the elements when you create them and setting only the specific attributes which changed. innerHtml string parsing forces the browser to do too much work unless you’re literally changing everything. Each time I’ve replaced that with DOM operations it’s been an order of magnitude or more performance gain - on one project, getting rid of fully-optimized React was 4 orders, but I think they’ve optimized it enough since then that it’s only 1-2.
