GitHub cut server-side render time 55% by moving Primer off runtime CSS-in-JS

GitHub says moving every Primer component from runtime CSS-in-JS to CSS Modules cut server-side render time by 55% and component initialization by 25%. The figures come from GitHub's own pages without baselines, so they hold elsewhere only where styling work grows with component count as it did at GitHub.
