WM6.5 MAPI / SMS performance

[quick99si]

I share the same frustation, and I think that a lot of us do, but your claims may be overblown. Is it possible that some other setting, program, or combination thereof is causing this tremendous lag?

Up until recently, I used to be quite the SMS hoarder. My TP1 and TP2 would typically hold 10-12k messages and the only real complaint was that closing out of long threads would cause a lag that is both random in frenquency and time. The flaw seemed to be in the way tmail.exe parsed and sorted the cemail.vol database. The fix for that was to either switch to classic style (non-threaded) or keep <500 SMS in total. My TP2 has 400 right now with no effect on performance... and I flash/restore a lot.

If it takes you 5 minutes to clear 300 messages, maybe you should overclock it to 750mhz and it'll take about 3.3min :P

In response to your last question, no, there is not much improvement in non-OEM roms. It may be worth hard resetting or switching to one for the RAM/freshness benefits however..
