Why Gallery So Slow / Access GoogleLoginService?

Question

I am working on an application that allows users to view images, so I submit the intent so that the gallery displays the image. For some reason, it takes a few seconds to display the image. Does LogCat show that it is trying to connect to the "GoogleLoginService"? Why is the gallery connected to the Internet? Could this be disabled on the phone or in code?

The device uses the Gallery3D application, which integrates with Picasa - you log in to Picasa using the Google Account Authenticator. However, most operations with the account occur in a separate thread (if I remember this application correctly), and in fact does not affect the launch.

Almost always gallery thumbnails are extracted from this culprit.
