React Native Cookbook - Second Edition

How it works...

This recipe focused on some helpful tips that allow the GPU to do as much of the work as it can. The second part discussed how to keep the load on the GPU as low as possible. Enforcing the opaque property in step 3 tells the GPU not to worry about checking the visibility of other components so that it can calculate transparency. Steps 5 and step 6 prevent offscreen rendering. Offscreen rendering generates bitmap images using the CPU (which is a slow process) and, more importantly, it keeps the GPU from rendering the view until the images have been generated.
