Use shouldRenderComponent to reduce rendering and recalculation#2
Conversation
By creating a component that only takes relevant properties that would cause a recalculation, we're free to redefine shouldRenderComponent to compare object equality of all of the props. If any props change, render (and recalculate); otherwise, no need to render or recalculate. This is similar to memoization, but using `react` lifecycle. In order for this approach to work, you have to create a component that _doesn't_ take an unrelated prop (i.e. `currentTheme`).
