Maybe your memory cache size is small and Picasso tries to load images from disc cache. Please check here for deciding cache size. You can try to increase cache size of Picasso by:
Picasso p = new Picasso.Builder(context)
.memoryCache(new LruCache(cacheSize))
.build();
However in my opinion your app looks like having an endless feed. Which means your memory cache will be full at some time and you'll have to use disc cache. Retrieving data from the disc cache is slower compared to memory cache.
