Hi Mark, thanks for your help! By the way: I now found out why my views took so long to load. An odd combination of an Adapter and layouting led to many useless getView() calls. Now even 10 views are fast enough for the view flipper. Anyway: I think I will use your information to make the ViewFlipper fast even if devices are slow. :-)
