Contacts list is VERY slow to suggest contacts and typing lags whilst search completes.

Fast text search completes in real time. 1300 is a good size but this is trivial.

Possible fixes
Two part search? Search names fields first and refine with all-fields search after that is complete? I don't know how the search is completed... Just a barely educated guess...
