Bug Fix for jQuery Mobile Application

Hello All! I need help...QUICK! I have an app live in the Android Market app store that I am having a problem with. I recently updated the application to use just a few files thinking it would make the app lighter and therefore run quicker. However, after creating the app around jQuery and XML files it is running very, very slow. Upon opening the app takes about 7-10 seconds to display any data/content. I have made the jquery files local to the app, but that doesn't seem to help very much. I need someone to look at my code to see if there is a better and/or faster way to load and display my content. I am attaching the current files: the HTML/jQuery code for the Tab 1, along with the XML file. If you could pls write or recommend a new solution to speed up the menu/content loading ...IT WOULD BE GREAT! If I can get this back ASAP, hopefully you will be able to help me with some other issues that I may encounter. THANKS! Ellie P.S. If you want to download the live app, in order to see the problem "in action" pls let me know. I will reimburse the cost of the app ($1.99) in your fee.
