Is it better to use Coil or androidx.compose.foundation.Image to load local assets like PNGs in Android?

[gargVader]

I am wondering if Coil performs any optimization to load local assets like PNGs in Android? Or is it fine to just use the androidx.compose.foundation.Image?

Coil provides a number of optimizations including loading the image off the main thread, memory caching (so it doesn't need to be decoded every time it's scrolled into view), and downsampling (loading the image at the minimal size that the target needs).
