To optimize SwiftUI subviews, it's important to understand the distinction between declared and resolved subviews. Declared subviews, like ForEach or Group, define a recipe for producing resolved subviews while the app is running. For instance, a ForEach view is a declared subview that generates a collection of resolved subviews based on data. This approach allows for efficient rendering and updating of views.

In the session Demystify SwiftUI containers, it is explained that breaking up one view into multiple subviews does not hurt performance. SwiftUI's declarative system efficiently manages these subviews, ensuring that the UI remains performant even as the view hierarchy becomes more complex.

Additionally, SwiftUI's composition pattern, as discussed in the session SwiftUI essentials, allows you to organize your code without compromising performance. This pattern is used throughout SwiftUI and is essential for creating user interfaces.
