react-native-svg: Very slow image loading

Question

Very slow image loading that slows down the app

Is there a better way to use <Image/>, because it’s very slow like that

I’m seeing some flakyness, sometimes it doesn’t rerender after loading the image, when running the app from cold boot on ios. As soon as i open the dev tools (which seems strangely hung / nonresponsive to the cmd+d when this issue appears as well) it re-renders correctly. After refresh it renders correctly immediately. Seems I got it to work slightly better by using a onLoad handler on fastimage and forcing an update of the svg root like this:

babel.config.js

module.exports = {
  presets: ['module:metro-react-native-babel-preset'],
  plugins: ['@babel/plugin-proposal-optional-chaining'],
};

import React, {useRef} from 'react';
import {View, Text} from 'react-native';
import {
  Svg,
  G,
  Circle,
  Defs,
  LinearGradient,
  Mask,
  Rect,
  Stop,
} from 'react-native-svg';
import FastImage from 'react-native-fast-image';

const YourImage = props => (
  <FastImage
    onLoad={props.onLoad}
    style={{width: 200, height: 200}}
    source={{
      uri: 'https://picsum.photos/200/200',
      priority: FastImage.priority.normal,
    }}
    resizeMode={FastImage.resizeMode.contain}
  />
);

export default () => {
  const svg = useRef(null);
  return (
    <View style={{flex: 1, justifyContent: 'center'}}>
      <Svg height="50%" ref={svg}>
        <Defs>
          <LinearGradient
            id="Gradient"
            gradientUnits="userSpaceOnUse"
            x1="0"
            y1="0"
            x2="800"
            y2="0">
            <Stop offset="0" stopColor="white" stopOpacity="0" />
            <Stop offset="1" stopColor="white" stopOpacity="1" />
          </LinearGradient>
          <Mask
            id="Mask"
            maskUnits="userSpaceOnUse"
            x="0"
            y="0"
            width="800"
            height="300">
            <Rect x="0" y="0" width="800" height="300" fill="url(#Gradient)" />
          </Mask>
        </Defs>
        <G mask="url(#Mask)">
          <Circle x={50} y={70} r={65} />
          <G transform="translate(50, 50)">
            <View>
              <YourImage
                onLoad={() => {
                  svg?.current?.forceUpdate?.();
                  console.log('onload');
                }}
              />
              <Text>Testing</Text>
              <Text>Testing2</Text>
            </View>
          </G>
        </G>
      </Svg>
    </View>
  );
};

Did you run pod install after adding fastimage?
