Android : Slow loading local HTML file android

I am loading a html from the assets folder. It is positioned below an image-view. The code works, however it takes a second for the html file to appear on the device.

here is the code:

 public class FgmIsChildAbuse extends Activity  {


@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setContentView(R.layout.webview);

     WebView mWebView;
        mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webviewm1);

        WebSettings webSettings = mWebView.getSettings();
        webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

        mWebView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/m1_section1_read.html");

        ImageView ImageView1 = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.ImageView1);

        Resources res = getResources(); /** from an Activity */

        ImageView1.setImageDrawable(res.getDrawable(R.drawable.images_eyes));

        mWebView.getSettings().setRenderPriority(RenderPriority.HIGH);

        mWebView.getSettings().setCacheMode(WebSettings.LOAD_NO_CACHE);

        mWebView.setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE, null);

        webSettings.setRenderPriority(WebSettings.RenderPriority.HIGH);


   }


}
