> Having your app burn battery for half a second doing absolutely nothing is bad UX. That kind of latency does have a meaningful effect on productivity for a heavy user.
The implication is that React Native is to blame for this and I'm not sure that's true. What would the ms delay be with pure native? I have plenty of native apps that also have delays from time to time.
It all depends on whether the number includes network roundtrip or not, which they don't state. I read it as not including a network request, i.e. all CPU and local I/O.
