'For Thought' answers

Question 1

Yes and no. Preloading the images increases the speed of the app but also increases the resource overhead because the image data now always lives in memory

Question 2

No, it is not more scalable. While pre-loading the images is more performant, it also means they live in memory. And so if we increased the number of images we would also increase the memory usage

Question 3

If there were 1000 images in the assets file, the previous implementation of the model (on demand initialization) would be a better option. It would be slower, but you would remove the overhead of having 1000 images in memory
