We have a React+Redux search page where clicking checkboxes takes about that long to update the checkbox, on our good developer machines.

I won't rule out we did something wrong (this page was pretty early in our React understanding), but we've also not managed to fix it due to how much is on that page.

I once worked for a pretty big and popular ticket selling company where you couldn’t type your credit card number too fast because it would miss numbers.

It was all redux’s magic and simplicity was making almost the entire thing rerender on every keystroke. Of course it was the developers fault, but it’s so easy to end in that situation that I blame the tools because to me when you shoot yourself in the foot that many times you start to ask yourself if what you have is a footgun.
