When should you invest in optimization?
├─ User-facing latency issue (visible stutter/delay)
│  └─ YES — Profile and fix
│     Measure first, optimize second
│
├─ Premature concern ("this might be slow")
│  └─ NO — Wait for evidence
│     Write clean code, profile later
│
├─ Battery drain complaints
│  └─ YES — Use Energy Diagnostics
│     Focus on background work, location, network
│
├─ Memory warnings / crashes
│  └─ YES — Use Allocations + Leaks
│     Find retain cycles, unbounded caches
│
└─ App store reviews mention slowness
   └─ YES — Profile real scenarios
      User perception matters

What are you measuring?
├─ Slow UI / frame drops
│  └─ Time Profiler + View Debugger
│     Find expensive work on main thread
│
├─ Memory growth / leaks
│  └─ Allocations + Leaks instruments
│     Track object lifetimes, find cycles
│
├─ Network performance
│  └─ Network instrument + Charles/Proxyman
│     Latency, payload size, request count
│
├─ Disk I/O issues
│  └─ File Activity instrument
│     Excessive reads/writes
│
├─ Battery drain
│  └─ Energy Log instrument
│     CPU wake, location, networking
│
└─ GPU / rendering
   └─ Core Animation instrument
      Offscreen rendering, overdraw

View is re-rendering too often?
├─ Caused by parent state changes
│  └─ Extract to separate view
│     Child doesn't depend on changing state
│
├─ Complex computed body
│  └─ Cache expensive computations
│     Use ViewModel or memoization
│
├─ List items all updating
│  └─ Check view identity
│     Use stable IDs, not indices
│
├─ Observable causing cascading updates
│  └─ Split into multiple @Published
│     Or use computed properties
│
└─ Animation causing constant redraws
   └─ Use drawingGroup() or limit scope
      Rasterize stable content

How to fix memory issues?
├─ Steady growth during use
│  └─ Check caches and collections
│     Add eviction, use NSCache
│
├─ Growth tied to navigation
│  └─ Check retain cycles
│     weak self in closures, delegates
│
├─ Large spikes on specific screens
│  └─ Downsample images
│     Load at display size, not full resolution
│
├─ Memory not released after screen dismissal
│  └─ Debug object lifecycle
│     deinit not called = retain cycle
│
└─ Background memory pressure
   └─ Respond to didReceiveMemoryWarning
      Clear caches, release non-essential data

// ❌ Identity changes when array mutates
List(items.indices, id: \.self) { index in
    ItemRow(item: items[index])
}
// Insert at index 0 → all views recreated!

// ✅ Use stable identifiers
List(items) { item in

}

// ❌ Called on every render
var body: some View {
