Description

Hi , i have made a simple test with react motion.

As soon as i add the @Radium decorator it slows down quite a lot. The difference isn't really noticable on desktop, but on a mobile device it is a big difference.

please see the tests here : https://github.com/Aaike/react-motion-radium-test There are links to 2 tests. The only difference in the 2 demos is the addition of the @Radium decorator.

Please look at those tests with a chrome browser on a mobile device.

Do you have any suggestions to avoid this drop in performance ?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Profile the application using React DevTools to identify cause of slowdown when @Radium decorator is added. Compare render times and style calculations with and without decorator to pinpoint bottleneck.
