flash a mighty, silence, energy, or sss rom...lol

All jokes aside, the phone will take a little bit to answer unless optimized further then what it already is. I would suggest checking out the TP Tweaks section or if comfortable enough, flashing an already optimized rom. This little things will change the whole speed experience you are currently having with your TP currently.

Another option is downloading "Advanced Configuration" and disabling the dialer skin. Much faster but less eye candy. Hope ths helps.
