How do you display a large list efficiently in Jetpack Compose?

This tests understanding of Compose lazy versus eager layout. A strong answer names LazyColumn or LazyRow, notes visible-only composition, and contrasts Column which lays out everything upfront.
This tests your grasp of Compose lazy composition and viewport recycling versus eager composition. A strong answer identifies LazyColumn and LazyRow, explains they compose and measure only visible items plus small buffers, and contrasts Column which eagerly composes and lays out all children causing O(n) composition and memory costs. A red flag is recommending Column with a standard loop for large datasets without mentioning composition overhead, scroll performance, or the importance of stable keys.
