Question about redraw performances impact on field value update with massive object array.

[rMonell]

Hello,

I'm working on a project using vee-validate in combination with a data table component (AG Grid). We're using useField to validate the selection model of the table. While testing a large dataset (around 50,000 items per page), we noticed a significant redraw performance hit when updating the field value.

The performance issue only seems to occur when the field value is an array of objects (using a selection of primitive values does not lead to noticeable performance degradation),

This raised a few questions for me:

• Is this performance cost expected when using useField with large arrays?
• Are we using vee-validate correctly for such a use case?
• Could this be considered a performance bottleneck within vee-validate itself?

To illustrate the issue, I’ve created a minimal reproduction here:
🔗 https://stackblitz.com/edit/vee-validate-issue-template-75gvnu2f?file=src%2FApp.vue,src%2Fcomponents%2FHeavyField.vue

In this example, you can observe the slow UI response when the useField value is updated. This behavior does not occur when setting the value to a simpleref and printing it in the DOM.

Thanks in advance for your insights!
