Bug #2148
Viewing log in strongswan android app during reconnect is extremely slow
Description
Scenario:
Successful VPN connection established with the strongswan app. If the strongswan app tries to reestablish the connection during an outage, an animated progress bar will be shown on the main app screen.
On my Motorola Moto E 2015, clicking on "View Log" and scrolling through the log is extremely slow during that reconnect. It can take multiple seconds between using the touchscreen and any result (start of log viewer, scrolling through logs).
This slowness only happens during automatic reconnection attempts, but never while the tunnel is active or not started at all.
Android app version 1.6.2.

Could be because the log is longer then. Other than that there should be no difference.

I know that with large logs (multiple days of VPN connection) scrolling sometimes is a bit slow, but in this case the log was reasonably short (only 2 hours of VPN connection).
Once the reconnect is successful, scrolling the log works fine again. Scrolling the log also works fine if I abort the reconnect.

During a reconnect more messages are logged than usual, so maybe it's the automatic update of the log view that slows things down (each new line causes two Runnables to get queued, see source:src/frontends/android/app/src/main/java/org/strongswan/android/ui/LogFragment.java#L126, definitely not ideal if there's lots of new content).

This bunches several log messages together before posting Runnables.
