📄 Description

Description

Used AI to help with this.

What this does:

  • Optimistic updates on the transactions list so it doesn't need to do any expensive queries just to update a field
    • This should be the focus of testing - I think it should be fine as the non-optimistic query fires after saveDiffAndApply anyway, so should trigger even after the optimistic update.
  • Make the re-render of transactions non-blocking (using startTransition) so that React will treat the render as low priority and interruptable

This should improve the performance a bit, but wont completely solve the problem on really large budgets.
