The processes don't stop, no, but they do pause and go idle, waiting for the next event to come in. Not sure what that has to do with this.

What does react have to do with any of this discussion, and what do you mean by "this"?

> Did you know CSS even invokes the GPU for certain tasks?

Whether the GPU or CPU does work is unrelated to how frequently and how much of the screen is rendered. Damage regions work just fine for GPU-based rendering.

Part of my job is maintaining a retained mode UI library. I've literally written some of the parts that handle damage regions, as well as the GPU-based rendering. But do go on about how I don't know how any of this works.
