I see, if we're talking about apps somehow accumulating thousands of finalizer references, something seems very wrong, as we're talking about 10's of ms of work. I'm not sure how many references we typically hit in our apps, but I'm pushing the fresco team to A/B test with removing finalizers to actually see what impact we see in our apps: it'd be a good data point to have internally and externally about using finalizers. That being said, we're hoping to update the OSS RN version of fbjni which uses a PhantomReference queue, and Fresco has also been considering a PhantomReference queue. I'll try to keep you updated on the fresco task.
