How to make a android WebView load faster?

Question

Anybody has some suggestions to make a webview faster to load the url?

In my situation, I am using the jQuery's getScript to load the javascript(s) when needed.

Thanks, Sana.

This might not be suitable for your situation, but you could ignore loading images.

       webview.getSettings().setBlockNetworkImage(true);

if targeting api level 8 (2.2) or higher you can take one step further and

       webview.getSettings().setBlockNetworkLoads(true);
