Why does my Note 4 5.0.1 have slow text messaging?

Note 4 5.0.1 Slow Text Messaging

This issue appears to be getting worse. Sometimes when texting input of characters is slow and stutters. Also, after clicking to send text the wheel under the text spins for up to 5 seconds. Extremely annoying. Even when zero apps are running.

In a possibly related question how much ram is free for most when no apps are running?

My wife's S5 , my note 3, and note 4 do it from time to time. Not sure what is going on.

What Apps and keyboards are you using?

I'm using a Google combo : Google Keyboard + Google Messenger (one of the fastest and best SMS apps in my opinion with a great material design)

Other than SMS, been using FB messenger and What's App without any issue... I used Swiftkey before and Hangouts for texting and I had those exact same issues.

I have been using the Native Samsung messaging app. I just downloaded google messenger. It is ok but I like some of the functionality in the native app. Hoping once 5.1.1 comes along it will speed it up.
