Gifs played very slow in android

[univers3]

Hi everyone,
I'm having a strange behaviour with fastimage and android.

A remote GIF put inside an <Image> works pretty well, played at the original speed.

The same remote GIF put inside a <FastImage> is played at variable speed. Seems that the playing speed depends from the network speed and even after the first loop, keeps playing at the same speed. So, it's not due to a buffering stage or similar.

This makes totally useless FastImage for GIFs in Android, because the playing speed is around one tenth of the original.

Someone got the same issue? Any workaround?

Thank you.

"react-native-fast-image": "5.1.1"

Update:

Looks like that the problem is Glide:
bumptech/glide#2471

For GIFs this library should use Fresco and not Glide.
Is way better, even from a performances point of view.

Any way to force FastImage to use Fresco in Android?

I'm actually having this issue on both iOS and Android, which in this case iOS performs worse than Android!
Hope this gets solved soon

Same issue here, but I still decide to choose this library because I having a terrible performance of the whole app when I am showing images in my FlatList and Carousel, especially carousel, I having terrible drops of fps from few frames up to 5 fps. With Fast Image I having almost perfect fps no drops but gifs loading too slow and playing slower than in normal browsers.

static images have no issues but animated webp and gif causing performance issue
