Android :: Needs To Run Some Benchmarks / Parse / Not?

I guess to definitely answer this, one needs to run some benchmarks but I'll ask anyway. In you opinion/experience what would work faster after initial HTML is grabbed from the remote source. (The HTML is group of one or two level nested OL or UL within body tag and some DIVs) 1. Using WebView/JS/CSS to customize and render HTML into list-like UI 2. Parse HTML into List Adapter and then use ListView to render it My experience with #1 shows that it is actually pretty slow. Weird thing is - once rendered - JS works quite well and fast it's really initial parsing and loading that produces the delay
