Messeges & Voicemail lag

Lately my HTC Messages app is slow to find my contact's info as I type it in. In the past, as soon as I begin typing a name the app searches my People or Contacts and displays possible selections. This no longer happens. It seemed to start about the time Facebook got an overhaul. Can't confirm that though. Sometimes when I type a contact name to send a sms to, and just wait...it might give me 20 or 30 of the exact same name and number. I started using Handcent SMS, it selects contacts much quicker, but I would love to spare the space on my internal memory and use the native app.

I mentioned voicemail in the subject due to my voicemail lagging and not displaying at times, began about the same time the Messages app started acting up.

Doing a factory reset helped, but now it's at it again!

Anyone have suggestions? or similar problems?
