Not sure what might break by this removal but this for sure breaks the parent comparison in cleanChildren

Ryan made a comment about this code in a related issue here #307 (comment)
I will have to study it again to refresh my mind, I'm not sure I actually ever understood that part

I've tried to track this down and, oh well 😅, no wonder even Ryan can't remember this. This check existed since the beginning.

WeakSet is already used by hydration so doesn't hurt anything but there might be better approaches than this.

I suggest considering a strong referenced array to be cleared in the microtask as moved.length = 0. As the cost of instantiating could be removed, and also a set will try to deduplicate the nodes

I was thinking if weakset was faster than array to check for element existence. Any form of book-keeping works really. We could also keep it in the nodes but I don't know the performance side of this. Essentially we need to know if a node has changed position in the tree.

Makes sense. Last time I measured this, for a fairly low amount of items there was no significant difference between [].includes and set.has and you do not pay the cost of the Set having to deduplicate/hash items. I think solid reactivity does this (ex: reading a signal just pushes to observers without deduplicating).

At first sight sounds like keeping the info in the node will complicate the logic, either a microtask for each node or some sort of counter. Probably worth considering, as a microtask could introduce desync, not sure if solidjs/signals will use microtasks, but everything becomes a race when used. This is why I do not like reactivity in microtasks

Maybe make of the WeakSet a Set to be hold in the parent scope, and call set.clear() in the microtask. I'm thinking of at least not paying the cost of creating the set/array each time.
