const someRef = useRef(new Something());

This will re-create a new object on each render even though it's not used, only the initial value is used. Looks like we have a couple occurrences of this in Compass (and at the CompassWeb entrypoint. Can be a performance hit if the constructor or object creation is expensive or doing things.

This ticket involves updating those occurrences to follow the recommended pattern in the linked doc. 
Maybe  a lint for `useRef(new ...` that errors and links that page could be useful.
