I am very happy for the new contacts and messages i will look through my
critical and constructive eye now :) :

Scrolling might be much easier with perhaps up to 100 contacts...
just guessing. I have +400 contacts with phones, emails etc. and every
contact detail, every message detail and even every phone call screen is
delayed by 5 seconds (you can imagine picking up a call is a pain in
neck). With pyphonelog i never know if framework has crashed again on
me or if phonelog will eventually finish loading... Scrolling through
the side index in contacts and then rolling up/down is a pain to find
the correct contact.

The issue has two bottlenecks:

- opimd response (chances for speed up are with FSO2 opimd2vala rewrite 
- screen driver (perhaps we will one day have a bit faster glamo)

Three things to make it better for the end user even if the two
above bottlenecks remain:

- phoneui based fast loading phonelog with a cache like the message app
- _fast_* searching through contacts (* might not be possible due to
  opimd response time)
- speed dial in the dialer: tap and hold a number to dial a contact
  (for example a contact that contains a special field for this)

my 2c
