TF3D SMS is really really slow/laggy... ? Likely due to me having a lot of SMS's ...?

This is my first phone with TouchFlo, previously I had a Titan. I used MyPhone to backup my texts from my Titan restore them on my new TP2. On both my Titan and the TP2, if I use the Windows 6.1 Messaging application, sending/receiving/reading SMS is fast/snappy.

But the SMS functionality of TouchFlo is EXTREMELY slow for me. For instance, if I get a new SMS and change "tabs" in TouchFlo to the SMS one, it literally takes at least 5 seconds to show the message. Doesn't matter who it's from. If I click the message to reply to it, it takes at least 10 seconds to move to the next page, and each reply takes another 5-10 seconds to show up! During each of these lag periods, the phone is completely un responsive and locked up!

Now I DO have a lot of SMS messages, about 9000+ between sent/received. I'm sure this is the cause of this issue as others aren't complaining of it and my buddies phone isn't doing this either... I am using threaded / default. But as I mentioned, this works just fine on my old phone and new, using the built in Messaging program. it's just touchflo having the issue...

I realize many of you may not have this issue since the phone is brand new, but I'm sure you may once you get more texts! If there is no way to fix this... whats the best way to "archive" SMS?

Thanks!
