BUNDLE and MAP process for index.js is taking a long time

Description

I recently upgraded my application's React Native version from 0.80.2 to 0.86.0 (the latest stable release). However, since then, the bundle and map process for the application's index.js file has become extremely slow; the app always stays on a blank screen with no UI response for over 100 seconds while the thread is running. I’ve tried various workarounds—such as initializing libraries asynchronously and using requestNextFrame to prioritize the UI rendering before any heavy processing takes place—but nothing has worked so far. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions as to what exactly might be causing this?

I’ve shared a performance trace generated by React Native DevTools below; the screen was blank throughout the entire trace:

Trace-20260916T122443.json

Steps to reproduce

1. Execute yarn android
2. Execute yarn start in another terminal
3. Open app

React Native Version

0.86.0

先使用 yarn android 和 yarn start 重现延迟，然后检查附加的 React Native DevTools trace，查找在打包和映射 index.js 时阻塞空白屏幕的工作。比较所报告的 React Native 版本上的行为，并记录一个可重现的原因或可执行的后续步骤；该 issue 当前没有指定项目文件或测试。
