Author of react-virtualized here. I think you might find the slides from a recent presentation I made about the library helpful. I suggest starting here and stepping through the slides (by pressing the right arrow key): https://bvaughn.github.io/forward-js-2017/#/10/0

I think this talk will be posted to the Forward JS YouTube channel soon but as of now, only the slides are available.

In short, react-virtualized helps improve the performance of your React application by limiting the number of calls to render as well as the number of DOM elements created and added to the page.
