title: React native slow loading image and application process
body: <p>I'm working on a react native android application. My IDE is android studio and I'm using android studio emulator. </p>
  
  <p>When I try to load local background image to my application page, the image loads very slow and all application process also works slow. </p>
  
  <p>I saw some post about this issue but could not find a proper solution.</p>
  
  <p>I didn't understand the relation between the image and the other events.</p>
  
  <p>For example, when I press a simple button, detection of the press action takes seconds if the image has set.</p>
  
  <p>Sample code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    ...
      onPress1(){
            alert('onPress..');
          }
          render(){
             return(){
               &lt;View&gt;
                 &lt;View style={ somestyle }&gt;
                   &lt;Image source={require('./img/background.jpg')} /&gt;
                 &lt;/View&gt;
                 &lt;View style={ somestyle }&gt;
                     &lt;View style= {somestyle}&gt;
                         &lt;TouchableHighlight style={ somestyle } onPress={() =&gt; this.onPress1()}&gt;
                             &lt;Text style={ somestyle }&gt;Btn 1&lt;/Text&gt;
                         &lt;/TouchableHighlight&gt;
                     &lt;/View&gt;
                 &lt;/View&gt;
               &lt;/View&gt;
             }
          }
      ...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any suggestion ? Thank you very much.</p>
