Based on profiling, re-renders of ColorSplotch are expensive because of the SVGs within. Because we were passing squircleParams to SquircleView as raw object, ColorSplotch got recreated every time.
I think we should just get rid of SquircleView altogether and just use the more performant View. We only use SquircleView (via ColorSplotch) in UnreadDot and ThreadSettings... neither of which are places where the distinction between squircle, circle, or rounded rectangle really matter. For context, we originally used Squircle for ColorSplotchs that appear where user/thread avatars appear today.
Depends on D9070
