[MlMt] Suddenly, lag in address-completion?

[Gustavo Daniel Villarreal]

I wonder how fast I could type an address that starts with an __a__ on a 
Mac Pro? :)

I just tested this on my other Mac, which has the same amount of 
contacts and mails, and I also get a pause with addresses starting with 
a, and doesn't happen with other letters. Also, for me, it doesn't 
happen with an address that contains a if it was not the first letter.

If it were a hardware or data size issue, it would happen with all 
letters.

I guess it might be an issue with the algorithm?

Thank you.
