Why scrolling down a long feed causes the app to become slow ?

I know it isnt exclusive to Connect, i noticed it too on other social media apps like facebook (don't judge me xd), and its the same effect: app start to slow scroll when reaching old posts from months ago or even years ago. Could extra ram help circumvent this ? my phone has 4gb ram, i am planning on upgrading for a phone that uses 8gb of ram+8gb of swap, would that help in this case ? thanks.

Great hardware can ameliorate bad software design to some degree
- can u please point out exactly whats wrong about Connect, code wise ofc, instead of throwing false accusations.
  
  tho I don't have performance issues, it's true that I can see sometimes stutters and really small lags - but this is all because of Flutter, on which Connect is based.
  as a Flutter app, this runs extremely well IMO
I noticed this too. I tweaked some settings and it seemed to resolve itself.
I don't remember which settings I changed, but the pre-downloading images one seemed suspicious to me
- i appreciate ur valuable input. i ll give it a try and see if it resolves things
