Review the target code for performance issues. Report only — never modify files.

Database and query patterns

• N+1 queries: loops that trigger one query per iteration instead of a batched query
• Unbounded queries: endpoints or functions that fetch all rows without pagination or a limit
• Over-fetching: SELECT * or fetching entire documents when only specific fields are needed
• Missing indexes: filter or sort conditions on columns that are likely unindexed

Frontend (React and similar)

• Components that re-render on every parent render without memoization (React.memo, useMemo)
• Expensive computations inside render without useMemo
• Event handler functions recreated on every render without useCallback
• Large lists rendered without virtualization (react-window, react-virtual)

General computation

• O(n²) or worse algorithms where a more efficient approach is achievable
• Repeated identical computations inside a loop that could be hoisted above it
• Synchronous blocking operations inside async or event-driven contexts
• Unnecessary deep copies of large objects or arrays

Resource usage

• Missing connection pooling for database or HTTP clients
• File handles or streams opened without guaranteed close
• Event listeners added without corresponding removal on cleanup or unmount
• Timers (setInterval, setTimeout) not cleared on cleanup

Output format

For each issue: file path, line number, pattern name, estimated impact (High/Medium/Low), and recommended fix. Group by impact, highest first.
