Performance compared to using native PNG support

[samuelneff]

Does anyone have stats on the performance of react-native-svg compared to displaying a png?

I saw an issue here where a screen with a bunch of svgs in a flat list was taking 1-2 seconds to load. Is that normal? Are people using react-native-svg to display lots of icons in their app or would using a large down-scaled PNG be better?

@samuelneff great question, I think it definitely can slowdown rendering for something like a background pattern with many different pattern elements, plus "quality" of SVG in terms of how many paths and etc. But these are just thoughts that need a check.

@samuelneff This is a great question, I've also wondered about this for a while now, hoping someone comes with a performance and build size statistic comparison or something
