I'd tried FlashList and i'm glad for it aka improve react-native lists speed

Our App PraceZaRohem commonly shows up to 500 items on main screen list. So it’s important to us make scroll smooth and fast. On react-native.eu 2022 conference I saw a presentation about FlashList and immediately i knew that i have try it.

Some time ago we were trying RecyclerListView, but there was a trouble with fixed item height and there were another issues, so we decided abandon it and return to Flatlist. We have tried improve speed by using props initialNumToRender and maxToRenderPerBatch.
