As expected pulling the HTTP work off of the UI thread fixed the speed problem. It still doesn't make sense to me why an orientation change always loads the first activity in a TabHost hosting activities, regardless of which tab you are in (see above). If anyone has any idea what is going on or what I'm missing here let me know.
