title: Animation causes AsyncTask HttpClient task to be super slow
body: <p>I have a network task defined inside of an AsyncTask that takes approximately 2-3 seconds to complete.</p>
  
  <p>When I add the animation code below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;rotate
      xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      android:fromDegrees="0"
      android:toDegrees="360"
      android:pivotX="50%"
      android:pivotY="50%"
      android:repeatCount="infinite"
      android:duration="60"
      android:interpolator="@android:anim/linear_interpolator" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and then in my activity execute it as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>progressImageView = (ImageView) getWindow().findViewById(
              R.id.progressImageView);
  progressAnimation = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.progress);
  progressImageView.startAnimation(progressAnimation);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The network call takes approximately 12-13 seconds to complete. Am I doing something incredibly wrong here?</p>
