Android ads slow performance very much

I have been experimenting with BANNER ads on my Android app, following this guide. When the ad load and is being presented a significant FPS drop is observed. This is very frustrating experience for the user, because View animations are core part of my app and they look awful in low FPS.
Everything runs fine when I set the adView to View.GONE. I don't know where this problem might be originating from. I'm not sure how the UI thread becomes so heavily loaded with a simple BANNER ad... Any suggestions here?
This problem is present both in my emulator and real Android device.
