PhoneGap localStorage taking too long to access data

Question

I have saved long string in localMemory named UserContacts , but it takes very long to access the data, here is the code that I am using:

var $Contacts = $('#Contacts');
        var htmltext = window.localStorage.getItem("UserContacts");
        $(htmltext).appendTo($Contacts);
        $Contacts.listview("refresh").listview();

Any ideas how to improve performance for this?
PS I am developing application for android and using PhoneGap.
Thank you.

instread of storing html in localstorage you should save only data and then create your html using javascript, see below code

var data = window.localStorage.getItem("UserContacts");
var len = data.length;
var html = "";
for(var i=0; i< len;i++) {
html += $("<li/>").text(data[i]);
}   

$("ul#yourId").append(html)
