Android Question File.exists is very slow in release mode and ok in debug mode

Hi, I'm using File exists in a loop checking if it exists to use the record image or if it does not exists use a generic image.

B4X: 
    If File.Exists(File.DirAssets,IzProd&"_img.png") = True Then
'        bmp = LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, IzProd&"_img.png")    
'    Else
'        bmp = LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, "NoImage.png")    
    End If

As you can see I've commented all except the if file.exists trying to find the problem.

Compiling in Debug mode it works ok, in release mode it works very very slow.

This is using b4a 5.20

Any idea of how to solve this?
Thanks

I did experience the same issue.
When loading a page that issues multiple calls to File.Exists it took couple of seconds to load ( on average over 100mSec per call )

The suggestion below eliminated the issue
