evenly spaced layout without nested weights
===

I realize this has been asked countless times, but I have yet to come up with a solution for myself. I want to make a simple set of buttons, laid out as below, without using GridLayout. I have also not had much luck with TableLayout or RelativeLayout. What does work for me, and well, is LinearLayout:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:padding="5dp" >
    
        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="0dp"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:orientation="horizontal"
            android:padding="5dp" >
    
            <Button
                android:id="@+id/button1"
                android:layout_width="0dp"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:layout_weight="1"
                android:background="#d0b0b0"
                android:paddingRight="10dp"
                android:textSize="15dip" />
    
            <View
                android:layout_width="10dp"
                android:layout_height="0dp"
                android:background="#808080" />
    
            <Button
                android:id="@+id/button2"
                android:layout_width="0dp"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:layout_weight="1"
                android:background="#a09a09"
                android:textSize="15dip" />
        </LinearLayout>
    
        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="0dp"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:orientation="horizontal"
            android:padding="5dp" >
    
            <Button
                android:id="@+id/button3"
                android:layout_width="0dp"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:layout_weight="1"
                android:background="#456456"
                android:padding="10dp"
                android:textSize="15dip" />
        </LinearLayout>
    
    </LinearLayout>

But I'm getting warnings about "nested weights are bad for performance". Really? With such a simple layout? Can I ignore the warning? Is there some other (elegant?) way to do this?
