Awesome, thanks for that link! So far I have been pretty happy with react native. On Android myself and another developer I have been working hit some issues around images on Android.

Part of the issues were our own fault: overlaying a transparent image provided by our designers instead of asking for a non transparent one, not using flags like renderToHardwareTextureAndroid.

Others were due to our use of the navigation library, react-native-router-flux, which on Android is backed by fragments. This caused a bunch of overdraw issues (i.e previously pushed views, which were not visible were being rendered in the background). We are planning on migrating away from this routing library to another one.

I'd love to read more articles about react native and performance based on real world examples at scale so please keep publishing them.
