I am trying to display user photos from the local filesystem using FFImage loading. I display these photos in a "Cached Image" in a FlowListView as shown: 

<DataTemplate>
<ffimageloading:CachedImage HeightRequest="100" Aspect="AspectFill"
                        DownsampleHeight="20" DownsampleUseDipUnits="false" 
                        Source="{Binding image}"/>

As you can see I load the images very small at DownsampleHeight 20. But on my HTC Android phone FFImage takes around 10 seconds to load a single image in my flowlistview.

These photos are around 2-5 mb. I'm thinking I could create a downsampled copy of each picture that is 500 kb and then load the higher quality version on

ImageService.Instance.LoadUrl(urlToImage).Success(() => ...

But was wondering if there was a better way as the user would still need to wait ~10 seconds for the proper image to appear ...

Resize images at the back-end, save the users traffic & memory, do not use DownsampleHeight etc.
