Frequent ANR: __cxa_throw ANR triggered by slow operations in main thread

[gabrielbiga]

Issue Description

Hey guys. Since the latest NS update (8.7.0), Crashlytics is reporting frequent ANRs probably from the system startup.

Should we take care of this?

Reproduction

Its only happening on Crashlytics reports. Not able to check locally.

Looks like turn "codeCache" off fixed the issue. I'll keep the thread informed. Did not solve :(

Sad news guys: Downgrading from NS 8.7.0 to NS 8.6.2 did clean ALL ANRs. Crashlytics is now reporting 61% better fail rates... Now I'll try to discover which commit did this.
