Stock messaging app slows to a crawl.

Mine doesn't slow down rendering it useless, but it does lag. Sometimes it takes a few seconds to change my new texts from "unread" to "read" status. For example, after I read my new texts and go to the screen with all of my texts from all of my contacts, for a few seconds it will still say that I have X amount of messages unread, when in fact I had just taken a look at them previously.

Yah this happens to mine all the time. I just close messaging and then open it again. That usually works.

Mine lags a FREAKING TON when switching in between people in the texting app. It is ridiculous. Does no one have a fix? Maybe a different texting app that doesnt have a bunch of BS like SMSGo?

this happens to me too. every day i have to restart my phone. i don't have any extra things, other than the usual apps. no one has a solid idea what is causing it?

I just start deleting messages when I get to around 250-300 per person.
That seems to free things up.

On another note, I just got 2.3.3 but I can't seem to get the new gingerbread keyboard. Help anyone?
