Hi. I have an apk which is supposed to be operated in Honeycomb devices. It requests some information to a server, receives replies in a form of XML, parses the reply, and display the results. It works fine in Android 3.0. However, if I run the same apk in Android 3.1, I see (in DDMS) consecutive garbage collection causing the information query extremely slow. Follow is a sample log for the case.

What I want to know is why the collection does not occur in Android 3.0. Is there any differences between Android 3.0 and 3.1 regarding this? Or am I missing something?
