Neither the comments nor the article mention this, so I figure I'd ask here -- the React team has been promising performance improvements for stateless functional components (I think because they require less/no overhead + lifecycle management) for some time now, but I don't think it's moved beyond that. Does Fiber introduce any of those optimizations, or nah?

Not yet. Seems like there is a loose plan to start implementing some of those optimizations once fiber lands in React 16.

Yes, functional components take a separate, simpler code path that should be faster.
