      Yes and no.

      It’s about abstractions more than optimizing.

      React native is JavaScript code, which means it’s starting (essentially) a web browser, then it downloads, parses, and runs the code.

      All of this takes time, and is repeated every time it starts (perhaps they might cache this for windows).

      If they used a compiled or JIT language, it would be much faster performance, since there are fewer abstractions, but the hi would be much harder to build…
