The Flutter.io Gallery app on the Play store takes about 5 seconds to open

[mmm111mmm]

Steps to Reproduce

Open the Flutter.io Gallery app on the Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.flutter.demo.gallery).

It takes just under five seconds to start. It should take about a second at most.

The top review on (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.flutter.demo.gallery&hl=en) also confirms this big.

Incidentally, the older Google Samples Gallery app takes around one second to load https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.flutter.gallery&hl=en).

@eseidelGoogle Do we know the engine and framework SHAs for the gallery release on the Play Store. I am trying to reproduce this on my phone and the load time seems fine.

@newfivefour: Can you add information about the device and Android version you saw this issue on?

[mmm111mmm]

A Nexus 7, Android 6.0.

I doubt it's just me as the top post on the Play store says the same:

The performance is laggy and animation seems choppy. Are these issues only in this demo app or does every app build using flutter has the same problem? If people tries this app to get a feel of flutter, they will avoid using flutter because of the performance issues concern. Update: I tried in another smartphone and the UI is choppy only for short duration in the beginning on initial load and then it seems to be smooth. So it seems performance varies across devices. Update: initial white screen last for 4-5 secs while opening the app on one device and 9secs on another device."

@chinmaygarde Actually with the new update to the Store app it's fine now.

#14504 (comment) reports they've updated the engine.
