[FLEX-23016] Flex Image Component consumes a lot of memory for SVG images and the UI responsiveness degrades exponentiallly for > 1K images on canvas

• Type: Bug
• Status: Open

• Resolution: Unresolved
• Affects Version/s: Adobe Flex SDK 3.6 (Release)
• Component/s: mx: Image
• Environment: Affected OS(s): All OS Platforms; Language Found: English

Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Use the Image control to add Images to a canvas with the Images "src" field pointing to an SVG Image.
2. As the number of Images added to the canvas Increases then the performance deteriorates.
3. It uses unusual amount of memory and the memory will not be released back after using remove child too.
4. If the Images are less around 200 then the performance is good and memory usage is with in limit, As the amount of Images increase, the performance degrades exponentially and the memory consumption increases exponentially.

I have attached a sample code to add images and remove images. We have talked with the flex support team and got a response that the slow UI responsiveness when trying to scroll through all 1k SVG image was due to the overhead of the mass amount of edge-detection that is required by the Flash Player.

Actual Results:
The Application performance deteriorates exponentially

Expected Results:
The Application performance should deteriorates linearly.

Workaround (if any):
None.
