Hi Javier: The thing is we have 52 investor groups in 26 countries on 3 continents and they each have admins entering information that is then displayed in our app. Part of that information are companies that are presenting at regular investor meetings in these different countries. These companies all have logos. Our app polls for changes every 20 seconds, and if someone has added a new company, all users worldwide will see it appear in the app within 20 seconds.
But thanks for your suggestion!

All item renderers would use the same image (100% bitmapCache hits), but at the cost of downloading the whole bitmap each time one of the logos change (how often?). It could be a fairly simple solution, and may it can improve your app responsiveness without too much trouble. Hope it helps ;-) On Mon, Oct 29, 2018 at 6:22 PM Erik Thomas <erikjtho...@icloud.com> wrote: > Thanks everyone for your ideas. > > Alex, I already knew how to do the serialization by encoding/decoding, and > I may go down that path someday, but if FileStream would just serialize a > ContentCache (seems like a common want), it would have been a quick > improvement to app responsiveness. > > Having to write my own serializing logic pushes this down on our > priorities list since improving app responsiveness is more of a "nice to > have" and not a high priority. > > I'm going to drop this idea for now. > > Thanks again for your insights, everyone. > > Erik > >
