[mono-android] slow loading of FindViewByID

[John Murray]

Just an update on this 
Although  I have problems with the debugger - cant evaluate watch
expressions - says timeout 
I have discovered that the 8 seconds lad of the view/activity is at least
50% caused by loading some autocomplete arrayadapters which have some 300
entries

Jonathan I've used your excellent example of running something on another
thread and the whole lot now pops up into view in under 3 secs - perfectly
acceptable right now for my purposes

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.
