It's just the amount of things each app loads. Amethyst loads a TON of information when you visit each profile. It's all goes in memory. So, larger profiles will take more resources from the phone. Lots to optimize yet.

I'm running both on my Android phone, and both are native apps, NOT web based. And believe me, I am not wanting to be critical or a complainer; I am very serious about Amethyst being my favorite access to nostr!🙏🫂😁💜💯‼️

But if the Iris app is open-source, there is clearly a code strategy that Iris uses that could benefit Amethyst, and there is nothing I would like better than to see that adopted to benefit Amethyst and all its users who can't afford the latest duper multi core Android devices.🙏😁😆👍

I was thinking that maybe implementing a caching system can help. Since Amethyst loads each time the profile pictures of the users. Instead, it should only cache unless it detects a change. In this way it saves processing, time and above all data, since this is another reason why I have several gigabytes of data consumption 🥹 But I know you are doing a great job, it is the application that receives the most updates. Which means that you are dedicating valuable time to it. Thank you very much for that. Congratulations on the great work!! 💪🏻😎
