Question about timeouts

[ugurcanatas]

Hey there!

Firstly thanks for this awesome library.

I want to ask a question out of curiousity.

My question is around internal setTimeout calls in the library. Specifically revolving around ItemSeparatorComponent prop.

We were seeing some memory increase in long lists. In order to debug what kind of timeouts that we have, i wrote a proxy around setTimeout calls and saw that usage of viewabilityConfigCallbackPairs and ItemSeparatorComponent is the reason for setTimeout calls. viewabilityConfigCallbackPairs made sense to me but why ItemSeparatorComponent is also causing setTimeout calls.

When i remove both props from Flashlist, setTimeout calls are getting significantly less.

I need to also add that clearTimeout calls are significantly less. The ones that are not cleared are only cleared when the component is destroyed.

My question is that is there a specific reason why ItemSeparatorComponent may lead to setTimeout being called?

Thanks!!

Additionally looking at the recyclerlistview, i can see that might be the actual reason for the bulk of setTimeout calls if i am not mistaken. What i couldn't understand is that why the timeouts are not cleared.

I might be missing something since i am out of context and also i am not sure if this is the place to ask the question about another library. Or they are internal timeouts from react native. Would love to get more info about this if possible
