Any time you wonder about slow performance in an iOS (or Mac) app, you should 
reach for Instruments and run the CPU Profiler.

However, that’s a poorly optimized query: it’s going to do a linear scan of the 
index every time it runs, instead of taking advantage of b-tree search. Your 
search criterion is the (fromId, toId) pair, so that’s what you should be 
indexing on. What I would do is
        emit( [min(doc.fromId, doc.toID), max(doc.fromID, doc.toId)], 
doc.messageDate )
Then query with key = [min(fromId, toID), max(fromID, toId)], and sort the 
results by row.value (which will be the date.)

In case it’s not clear: the reason for the min and max calls is to create the 
same key whichever order the fromId/toId appear in, since the query code you 
gave doesn’t care about the ordering.
