Current behavior 😯
For the application we are building a form is needed which consists of multiple table rows containing 10 form element per row (some checkboxes, some textfields, a autocomplete and a select). Unfortunately we appear to be running into some limitations from the MUI framework, in some cases 60 or more rows need to be rendered which can take up to a couple of seconds.
Expected behavior 🤔
Rendering the form elements should not take seconds
Steps to reproduce 🕹
I have created a sandbox simulating the issue we have, it consists of a MUI tabs component with 3 tabs. The first tab is empty, the second tab has plain html element which are rendered almost instantly and the third tab has been build using MUI form elements and takes a lot longer to render, freezing the UI during render.

Context 🔦
Are there any tips or tricks we can try/implement to improve the render performance from the MUI form elements?
Does MUI have an underlying performance issue which can be improved?

Research direction
Start with the linked CodeSandbox, especially src/App.js, and profile the third tab against the plain HTML tab while rendering the reported 60 or more rows. Read the relevant MUI form-component entry points involved in the sandbox and determine whether the delay is reproducible as a framework issue. Done means a narrowed, reproducible cause with an agreed fix or documented guidance.
