Jquery Mobile Lots of linked lists extremely slow to load

Hi, i have a huge linked list in this kind of format. It is extremely slow to load on a HTC incredible S. Also very slow on an ipad. In the realm of 8-10 seconds on both. This is after all the JS/CSS has already loaded.

It's blazingly fast on a PC.

<ul data-role="listview">
       <LI>Tier1
            <ul>
                  <li>Tier2
                       
                             <ul>
                                    <li>     <a>3</a></li>
                                    <li>     <a>3</a></li>
                                    <li>     <a>3</a></li>
                              </ul>


                         </li>
                  <ul>    
            </li>
</ul>              

Would the performance be better if the data was dynamically injected demonstrated here?
