WM6.1 typing lag?

[hepcat503]

I recently went up to WM6.1 and I'm generally liking it so far. But there's one thing that's driving me nuts: I'm getting some awful typing lag when I'm in doing text messages. It falls behind and letters constantly get dropped, so unless I type slow or my messages come out all convoluted.

I like the threaded - and used Twinky's app for WM6.
But the lag now is driving me nuts, and I find myself wanting to dropo 6.1 and go back to WM6 and use Twinky's threaded app. It had good smileys anyway.

Anyone else having this issue? Any fixes / tips?
