HI all, I've written an app that does on-the-fly download, unzip and
parsing of a big KML geographic datafile. The datafile is refreshed on
a server every hour so Ideally I'd like to refresh every now and then.

I'm running the parse in a separate thread (with very infrequent
blocks/locks) using a tiny hand-built flat-file parser (it uses
intrinsic types to remove GC stalls).

The zipped KML is about 400KB, unzipped it is 4.5MB.
Unzip buffer is 10KB.
My emulator's /proc/cpuinfo says 250 bogomips.
My code parses the zipped KML in just over 8 minutes.

I've not yet thrown parsed output into any kind of database yet - for
development I just store new classes in an ArrayList when I see KML
elements I need.

Any random thoughts or suggestions that might make refresh a bit
faster? How fast is real hardware?
