Why does the soft keyboard improve framerate in android processing?

A sample application:
void setup()
{}
void draw()
{background(0);
scale(3);
text(frameRate,10,10);}
Framerate displayed is 38-42 fps. If I push menu to have the soft keyboard show up it jumps to 55.9 fps where it's more or less constant until I close the keyboard and then it eventually drops back down (galaxy S + gingerbread). I have the same thing happening in a regular application, except that's more intensive and the fps without the keyboard is 19 and with it it's 29.
What am I doing wrong, or why is this happening? Is it a processing bug?
