Lag and choppiness when doing press-and-hold fast scroll with remote

[ksvslk]

Describe the bug
Lag and choppiness when holding down the remote left/right button to scroll horizontally.

To Reproduce
Run the example (hoppix) on Android TV. I made a release build.

Expected behavior
Smooth scroll without lag or choppiness.

Screenshots
Believe me, it is laggy.

Version and OS

• 5.1.0
• [email protected]
• Google Chromecast

Additional context
I believe the creators have not focused on this problem and it is expected?

Hey, are you trying in release mode? It can be sloppy in debug mode (React Native is quite slow in debug mode), but shouldn't be in release mode.

Having a good performance is important for us, and we did check on low-end devices (Xiaomi TV Box). I'm quite surprised that it's slow for you 🤔

Hey, someone else was talking about the app and told me that there was a big slowness that was weird, and noticed that reanimated was causing issues 😱

Removing this part greatly improves the smoothness of the app (even though the animation isn't even used if you don't use a longPress)

react-tv-space-navigation/packages/example/src/modules/program/view/ProgramNode.tsx

Line 35 in 3c53f44

onLongSelect={rotate360}

We will fix this in the example soon by removing reanimated, probably 😬

Hi! Thank you for pointing this out. I think the best way to deal with this is to remove the animation as this does not contribute to the experience so much !

Indeed, in this case it was just an example 😄 So you confirm that it improves smoothness a lot?
