Library is very memory inefficient #37

Open afollestad opened 8 years ago

afollestad commented 8 years ago

It's pretty irresponsible based on how many people use this library.

This library allocates Typefaces over and over again rather than caching them, resulting in a lot of memory usage. You should be caching Typefaces using something like TypefaceHelper.

I thought, is a caching internally integrated. With assets files is the problem or not?

afollestad commented 8 years ago

No, if you monitor resources while an app is running, you can see that assets are allocated multiple times.

Is this resolved? How does it play with RecyclerView?
