I would recommend you read this article, and judge yourself: Off-thread decoding of images on Mango, how it impacts your application ?.
My personal experience says that the
BackgroundCreationoption is still doing way more work on the UI thread than theLowProfileImageLoader. I have some projects where it’s still necessary.Specially in combination with the
LongListSelector(from the Silverlight Toolkit) and it’s custom way of doing virtualization, I find theLowProfileImageLoadermuch needed to avoid having a second-second UI lock in one of my applications.
