Selecting a contact in default messaging app is very slow

/e/ version: 0.92020051554230
Device model: OnePlus 3t
When it started to occur: always
Reproducible with the last /e/ version: yes
Reproducible with LineageOS:

Summary

Default SMS app is very slow to suggest contacts (from approx 1300) predominantly text-only contacts whilst typing new recipient in.

The device is unusable
The bug is the source of a data loss or a big waste of time
[?] The bug concerns a third-party application
The bug concerns security
The bug concerns privacy

The problem

Create a new message and start typing recipient's name.

What is the current behavior?

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

What is the expected correct behavior?

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

Technical informations

Relevant logs (adb logcat)

Relevant screenshots

Solutions

Workaround

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...

Blesséd are the coders.
