I noticed performance issues with `DropdownMenu` when it contains a lot of items while `LazyColumn` with the same amount of items works just fine. It doesn't lag while scrolling but it takes ages to show up and update it's content.
is this a known issue and dropdowns are simply not cut out for &gt;100 items or is the problem rather in my code?

Yeah, I have a lists of few hundred items (less than 1000) and it took me quite a while to optimize them to be anyhow useable (I still have a few second lag on showing up the list and up to a second when hiding).
What I have done was to:
• use `BasicText`instead of `Text`
• use `BasicText`instead of `TextField`and replace it temporarily with `TextField` when clicked
• cache `Icon`s with `ImageBitmap`s
• use as little `CompositionLocal`s as possible
• use proguard (mainly to remove `sourceInformation*`calls)
• replace compose-runtime module with custom one from upstream androidx compose

I'm glad it's not just me, because nothing I've tried has fixed said lags either.
I settled on a simple `Popup` - `LazyColumn` implementation for now.
