tf3d extremely sluggish when loading the sms tab

[ou2mame]

i don't know what it is, but my phone takes literally 15-20 seconds when switching to the sms tab. its become really annoying, to the point that its not even practical to use tf3d. i've been using pointui for the past few days because i can't get to the messaging fast enough. anyone know what would cause this, or how to fix it? i have a ton of messages, saved, but i can't imagine that being the problem. arcsoft threaded is installed and the stock wm messaging works great. its just tf3d.
