1Event Pooling - React uses SyntheticEvent which is a wrapper for native browser events so that they have consistent properties across different browsers. The event handlers that we have in any react-app are actually passed instances of SyntheticEvent unless we use nativeEvent attribute to get the underlying browser event.

3Wrapping native event instances can cause performance issues since every synthetic event wrapper that's created will also need to be garbage collected at some point, which can be expensive in terms of CPU time.

5React deals with this problem by allocating a synthetic instance pool. Whenever an event is triggered, it takes an instance from the pool and populates its properties and reuses it. When the event handler has finished running, all properties will be nullified and the synthetic event instance is released back into the pool. Hence, increasing the performance.
