Description
I find that the new(ish) table in performance summaries, while theoretically helpful, is overwhelming to look at. It gives me a lot of detail, but I have trouble finding the signal in the noise. There's a lot of text, but not a lot of visual distinction between different parts of it. Meanwhile, the bullet points before the table are simple, but they don't have enough information.
In theory, I like the idea of the table, but in practice I feel like it's just too much text.
