Phone freezes while text messaging since 2010

[riceguy]

my phone freezes up randomly or acts very sluggish, started noticing it last month. i have to do a soft reset for it to function some what normally for a bit.

my phone wont hold up a whole day without freezing up or becoming super slow. i reflashed my rom last week and it acted normal for a few days

happens especially when i go back and forth between texting and main menu. I am currently thinkin of takin off 6.5 and going back to an older one to see if it goes any faster.

edit: its possible my phone is getting old? but if its happening to more people, its not just me
