You heard the opposite of reality. Here are the key facts: - React Native is faster than apps using a webview because it uses native UI components for their OS targets (e.g. Android and iOS). They also look more native. - React Native runs the JS code in a separate thread from the native UI components rendering. Webview apps will use the same thread for their app code and the DOM rendering.
