    Mount time is React Native's interaction time, the event duration reported by PerformanceObserver. It's an INP-like metric covering input dispatch, React render, Fabric commit, Yoga layout with text measurement, and native view creation, but not rasterization. Self-measured from the example app as an average of 3 runs; see measuring.md for details.
