Accompanist webview lags when showing a website. Is there some way to make it async?

<https://google.github.io/accompanist/web/>

also it's just a thin wrapper around platform WebView so I find it unlikely that accompanist is responsible… if you have an example that you can plug into both accompanist web and a traditional view-based webview, are there differences?

<@UN85K2RQR> is it only lagging on its first load for the life of the app process? If you go back to a different screen in your app and then open the screen with the WebView again, is the second time faster?

i swear i didnt do anything except for update some deps (compose + accompanist) and now those loading issues are gone.

you know whats interesting. i wonder if updating compose to latest with all of the modifier improvements was the thing that improved webview perf. :thinking_face:

I would find it more likely that a update to or experiment flag in system webview has caused a change in (pre)loading behavior
