Any way to improve speed of BitmapFactory.decodeStream()?
<p>Obviously this is an expensive/time-consuming operation. Any way to improve this? </p>

<pre><code>Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeStream((InputStream) new URL(
                                            someUrl).getContent());
</code></pre>

<p>I'm guessing there's really no way to avoid this relatively intense operation, but wanted to see if anyone had any tweaks they could recommend (aside from caching the actual bitmap, which for whatever reasons simply isn't relevant here)</p>
