Benchmarks

These docs are still in progress. Below are preliminary benchmarks comparing LegendList to FlatList and FlashList. These metrics are placeholders and will be updated with real data as testing progresses.

Performance Benchmarks

Metric	LegendList	FlatList	FlashList	Notes
Initial Render Time	XXXms	XXXms	XXXms	1000 items, simple text render
Scroll FPS (60fps)	XXfps	XXfps	XXfps	5000 items, mixed content
Memory Usage	XXMB	XXMB	XXMB	10,000 items, images + text
Item Recycling	Yes	No	Yes	Efficiency with dynamic content
Cold Start Time	XXXms	XXXms	XXXms	App launch with 2000 items
Re-render Time	XXms	XXms	XXms	Update 10% of 5000 items
CPU Usage	XX%	XX%	XX%	Continuous scroll, 3000 items

Notes

• Initial Render Time: Time to render the list on screen from a blank state.
• Scroll FPS: Frames per second during smooth scrolling; higher is better (target 60fps).
• Memory Usage: Peak memory consumption during list operation.
• Item Recycling: Whether the list reuses item views for performance.
• Cold Start Time: Time from app launch to fully rendered list.
• Re-render Time: Time to update the list after data changes.
• CPU Usage: Average CPU load during active scrolling.

These benchmarks are based on simulated conditions (e.g., iOS 16, mid-tier device). Actual performance may vary depending on hardware, React Native version, and list content complexity. Stay tuned for finalized data!
