Performance between CSS :hover and useHover (JS)

Is there a difference in performance between :hover selector (CSS) and useHover (JS)? If so, is the performance difference noticeable? If there's a big difference, will there be any alternatives since I only use it for styling

It seems that whenever I hover enter and leave, the component re-renders but does not if using :hover selector

I would suggest looking at the nature of your application and considering whether the re-renders on hover will have a real-world impact on your application's performance.
