Thanks for the advice! Yeah, we kept working on the CSS containment
performance, here is the summary (also sent to the previous thread)

Yeah, while working on the performance, we found CSS Contain improves
performance inside the containment box, for instance, setting relayout boundary
to stop dirty layout propagating to ancestor elements. And we think
content-visibility would improve the performance from outside, for instance,
skipping painting content that is offscreen. And we asked for help from
chromium team, they provided us some very positive feedbacks from the
developers.(Also list in the document)
Regarding the accessibility feature, the values of content-visibility can
decide whether or not the content is accessible.
And there are over 80 cases in WPT to test the behaviour of content-visibility.
Also we would like to analyse the performance in the future.
Best,
Cathie
