improve layout performance
<p>I am freelancing to solve crash of an android app. It happens on startup, and I know it is because the activity_main.xml. It has too many views, too many nesting levels. Apart from that (wich I will try to reduce) </p>

<p><strong>what are other strategies to improve layout performance in Android?</strong> </p>

<p>The user interface cannot be changed or simplified.
For example:
- for repeated elements (50 - 100), does using 'include' makes it faster?
- the same for defining properties in styles instead of in every item.</p>
