'How to make RecyclerView with Composable ViewHolder render faster?

As per https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/interop/compose-in-existing-ui#compose-recyclerview, the composable ViewHolder that can be used in RecyclerView is as below

import androidx.compose.ui.platform.ViewCompositionStrategy

class MyComposeViewHolder(
    val composeView: ComposeView
) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(composeView) {

    init {
        composeView.setViewCompositionStrategy(
            ViewCompositionStrategy.DisposeOnViewTreeLifecycleDestroyed
        )
    }

    fun bind(input: String) {
        composeView.setContent {
            MdcTheme {
                Text(input)
            }
        }
    }
}

It looks like, every time it is bind the composable setContent (i.e. redraw again).

I measure the speed using Profile GPU Rendering, it clearly show that the Hybrid of ReyclerView+ComposeViewHolder is slower than pure RecyclerView or LazyColumn.

You can get the design here

How can we speed up the Hybrid RecyclerView+ComposeViewHolder?

Please run release build of the application with R8 enabled. This increases performance significantly.

The latest version of RecyclerView (1.3.0-alpha02) and Compose (1.2.0-beta02) have improved support and performance for Compose when used in RecyclerView thanks to the PoolingContainer library it uses. No need to dispose nor set the ViewCompositionStrategy. Note that the content in https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/interop/compose-in-existing-ui#compose-recyclerview is only needed if you are using stable versions of the libraries.

Try using a diff view composition strategy, one that is tied to the lifecycle of the fragment/activity. That way your composable isn't based on attach/detatch of the view which happens a lot
