 The profiler is integrated into dashboard creation paths and uses a singleton pattern to share profiler instances across dashboard reloads. The performance tracking is implemented using the `SceneRenderProfiler` from the `@grafana/scenes` library.
 
+### Long Frame Detection
+
+The profiler uses the Long Animation Frame (LoAF) API when available to monitor frame rendering performance during dashboard interactions:
+
+#### Primary Method: Long Animation Frame API
+- **Browser Support**: Chrome 123+ (automatically detected)
+- **Threshold**: 50ms (standard LoAF threshold)
+- **Benefits**:
+  - Browser-level accuracy and performance
+  - Script attribution data showing which code caused long frames
+  - Standards-based implementation
+  - More efficient than manual tracking
+
+#### Fallback Method: Manual Frame Tracking
+- **Browser Support**: All browsers
+- **Threshold**: 30ms (more sensitive than LoAF)
+- **Used when**: LoAF API is not available
+- **Implementation**: Uses requestAnimationFrame for frame monitoring
+
+Both methods track:
+- **Count**: Number of frames exceeding the threshold
+- **Total Time**: Cumulative duration of all long frames
+
+#### Debug Output
+
+With LoAF API:
+```
+SceneRenderProfiler: Long frame detected (LoAF): 67ms at 1234ms, total count: 1
+SceneRenderProfiler:   Script attribution: MyComponent.render took 45ms
+SceneRenderProfiler:   Script attribution: DataProcessor.transform took 15ms
+```
+
+With manual fallback:
+```
+SceneRenderProfiler: Long frame detected (manual): 38ms, total count: 1
+```
+
+This metric is particularly valuable for:
+- Detecting rendering performance issues that impact user experience
+- Identifying specific scripts/components causing UI stuttering (with LoAF)
+- Measuring the impact of performance optimizations on frame rendering
+- Comparing performance across different browsers and environments
+
 ### Tab Inactivity Handling
 
 To prevent meaningless profiling data when users switch browser tabs, the `SceneRenderProfiler` implements dual protection mechanisms:
