Very long time before play GIF begins

[TomasValenta]

Glide Version: 3.5.2
Device/Android Version: LG G3 / CyanogenMod 12 5.0.1 (in emulator 4.2.2 is the same situation)
Issue details/Repro steps: Hello, I tried some GIFs like this:

Playback works, but after a very long time waiting (about 3-5 minutes). No errors in logcat. Any idea?

Glide load line:

Glide.with(mContext)
        .load(url)
        .centerCrop()
        .crossFade()
        .signature(mStringSignature)
        .into(new GlideDrawableImageViewTarget(ViewHolder.vImage) {
            @Override
            public void onResourceReady(GlideDrawable drawable, GlideAnimation anim) {
                super.onResourceReady(drawable, anim);
                ViewHolder.vProgress.setVisibility(View.GONE);
            }
        });

Nothing, only very long time waiting...

Well, the last one took me 2 minutes to load in Chrome, my phone went to sleep. Maybe the files (actually one of them) are too big to fit in cache, so it is always downloaded.

[TomasValenta]

Ok,
but the first file have only 936 kB and the waiting time do not correspond to the downloading time. When I am watching network status on phone, the data transmit finished in about 20s, but playback start so much later. I tried the same with Ion (https://github.com/koush/ion) and its playback start in the same time when downloading finished ;)

Ah yes, take a look at #281 (it looks like a dupe at quick glance), Sam says there, for GIFs use:

.diskCacheStrategy(DiskCacheStrategy.SOURCE)

I guess the time between the download finish and the displaying is the RESULT caching: the encoder writes the resized frames into a new GIF.

Robert's correct. It's an unfortunate default in Glide 3.0 and it gets
worse the larger your GIF is. We're fixing (really have fixed) this in
Glide 4.0, but until then if you're retrieving remote GIFs you want to use
DiskCacheStrategy.SOURCE and if you're retrieving local GIFs you want to
use DiskCacheStrategy.NONE.

Thank you both very much. Now it's working perfectly!
