CustomScrollWidget, SliverList, SliverChildBuilderDelegate constantly rebuilds and degrades performance. Flutter

I was thinking of implementing SliverAppBar and a Scrollable items under it, so I have this code right now:

CustomScrollView(
        semanticChildCount: categoryItems.length,
        physics: BouncingScrollPhysics(),
        slivers: [
          SliverAppBar(
            automaticallyImplyLeading: false,
            backgroundColor: Colors.white,
            elevation: 0,
            actions: [
              Padding(
                padding: EdgeInsets.only(right: 15),
                child: IconButton(
                  onPressed: () {},
                  icon: Icon(
                    Icons.more_horiz,
                    color: changeColor == 80 ? Color(0xFFB2A588) : Colors.white,
                    size: 30,
                  ),
                ),
              )
            ],
            expandedHeight: MediaQuery.of(context).size.height / 3,
            stretch: true,
            pinned: true,
            flexibleSpace: LayoutBuilder(
                builder: (BuildContext context, BoxConstraints constraints) {
              // setting state for top to change color of more horiz
              WidgetsBinding.instance.addPostFrameCallback((_) => setState(() {
                    changeColor = constraints.biggest.height;
                  }));
              return FlexibleSpaceBar(
                title: Row(
                  mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
                  crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
                  children: [
                    Text(
                      constraints.biggest.height == 80 ? 'Title' : '',
                      style: TextStyle(
                        fontSize: 25,
                        fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
                        color: Color(0xFFB2A588),
                      ),
                    ),
                    Visibility(
                      visible: constraints.biggest.height == 80,
                      child: Icon(
                        Icons.keyboard_arrow_down,
                        size: 35,
                        color: Color(0xFFB2A588),
                      ),
                    )
                  ],
                ),
                stretchModes: [
                  StretchMode.zoomBackground,
                ],
                background: Stack(
                  children: [
                    // category image
                    Image.network(
                      'networkimage',
                      fit: BoxFit.cover,
                      width: double.infinity,
                    ),
                    // category title
                    Positioned(
                      bottom: 30,
                      left: 30,
                      child: Row(
                        children: [
                          SizedBox(
                            width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width / 2.5,
                            child: Text(
                              'Title',
                              style: TextStyle(
                                  fontSize: 60,
                                  fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
                                  color: Colors.white),
                            ),
                          ),
                        ],
                      ),
                    ),
                    // button
                    Positioned(
                      bottom: 30,
                      right: 30,
                      child: SizedBox(
                        width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width / 4,
                        child: RaisedButton(
                          onPressed: () {
                            Navigator.pop(context);
                          },
                          color: Colors.white,
                          elevation: 4.0,
                          child: Text('View more',
                              style: TextStyle(
                                  fontSize: 20,
                                  fontWeight: FontWeight.w600,
                                  color: Colors.black)),
                          shape: RoundedRectangleBorder(
                              borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(25.0)),
                        ),
                      ),
                    ),
                  ],
                ),
              );
            }),
          ),
          SliverList(
            delegate: SliverChildBuilderDelegate(
              (BuildContext context, int index) {
                print(index); },
          childCount: categoryItems.length,
        ),
      )
    ],
  )

The print(index) statement gets executed every second constantly. Any ideas why is that happening? Working with SliverList for the first time.

P.S. if you put some ListTiles for example inside the SliverChildBuilderDelegate it still executes print statement constantly.

One of the things to consider when using nested structures is to avoid infinite loops. If a field is redrawn when a "state" changes, it will repeat itself in other loops under it. Please delete the specified area and try.

The code to be deleted:

// This field triggers repetition.

WidgetsBinding.instance.addPostFrameCallback((_) => setState(() {
    changeColor = constraints.biggest.height;
}));
