[mono-android] slow loading of FindViewByID

[John Murray]

Thanks for the heads up JP
I'll try setting a timer 
It's now running at 8-9secs which is irritating 
I admit my eclipse trial was rather haphazard and probably not comparable 
I've only the debugger steps to go on in identifying the block of
FindViewByID - takes forever 

Any suggestions for ameliorating things if I have to accept it will take 8
secs or would you expect that kind of delay when there are a6 resources on
the view?

Best regards
John Murray

I find this puzzling; the JNI overhead shouldn't be that noticeable.

Conjecture? :-)

You might consider adding some timing information around the call to see if
that's actually the problem or if it's actually somewhere else.

You might also consider filing a bug with a test case so we can look at this
performance issue.

None that has previously been reported.
