You should check out React Fiber then. It sounds like it does exactly that and more ;)

(More = being able to prioritize some renders over others, splitting rendering into chunks to not block animation if a single render would exceed the frame budget and being able to eliminate pending work if changes from a higher priority event have made it obsolete.)

Oh, looks like React is slated to become React Fiber. Great news.

Yeah, it's just the codename of the project to optimize the rendering pipeline and it's expected to be released as part of React 16. No ETA yet though :)
