I want to thank the compose team for a very thorough update in this issue: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/228995735#comment14. The slow performance with modifiers is very noticeable on low-end hardware and it's very nice to know that the compose team is doing a lot of stuff internally to improve it. I have been trying to follow compose development quite closely, but I had somehow missed the "Compose modifiers deep dive" talk linked in the update: . And it only has about 15k views! Might be an interesting watch for the folks on this channel as well. It would be nice to have these kinds of insights to internal works in compose more often!

i haven't noticed modifiers slowing things down. but i have heard a bunch that it has. since you experienced slowdown it sounds like... have you noticed any sort of improvements on newer or alpha versions of compose

Thanks for sharing that. That was informative.
