Unexpected Memory Cache Behavior When Reloading Images with Coil Across Activities

[jtm0609]

I have a question regarding loading images with Coil.
In my current project, the flow is Activity A → Activity B. Inside Activity B, a Composable loads an image from a URL using Coil. The issue is that even when navigating back and forth between A and B, previously loaded images do not seem to be retrieved from memory cache, and the image appears slightly slower than when using a native view.
Based on the logs, Coil is loading the image from disk cache in this scenario.
However, if I load the same image in Activity A first and then navigate to Activity B, the image appears instantly, and the logs show that it is being loaded from memory cache.

So my question is:
When an Activity is destroyed, does Coil clear or lose the memory cache associated with the images loaded in that Activity?
Currently, each Activity loads images using ImageRequest.Builder(LocalContext.current).
