This was answered by Fresco blog post . See the section on “Clean bitmaps” and “Having our cake and food”. If you use Fresco, you will get better performance and less OOM, and you will not lose performance predictability.
Please note, although Fresco also faces many challenges for managing raster memory, being very careful to avoid memory leaks and close bitmaps as soon as possible. If you tried to use NDK yourself, instead of using Fresco, you need to be equally careful.
