The Problem:
After recently upgrading Flutter, the iPhone simulator is experiencing high memory consumption (3-5GB) when using the Impeller rendering backend. This causes massive latency and performance issues, rendering the system unusable. Disabling Impeller resolves the issue, but how can it be enabled without incurring the performance penalty?
