title: Is there a faster way to decode html characters to a string than Html.fromHtml()?
body: <p>I am using Html.fromHtml(STRING).toString() to convert a string that may or may not have html and/or html entities in it, to a plain text string.</p>
  
  <p>This is pretty slow, I think my last calculation was that it took about 22ms on avg.  With a large batch of these it can add over a minute.  So I am looking for a faster, performance built option.</p>
  
  <p>Is there anyway to speed this up or are there other decoding options available?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong>  Since there doesn't appear to be a built in method that is faster or built for performance specifically, I will reward the bounty to anyone that can point me in the direction of a library that:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Works well with Android</li>
  <li>Licensed for free use</li>
  <li>Faster than <code>Html.fromHtml(String).toString();</code></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>As a note, I already tried Jsoup with this method:  <code>Jsoup.parse(String).text()</code> and it was slower.</p>
