85.345 messages and slowing down preformance

[Raaka]

I have more than 80.000 messages in my Message Database. The performance is is slowing down when the message database is updated. Is there anything I can do about it?

Yes you can. It is a good practice to archive message to a separate database when you have a lot of message in your Message Database.
Make sure that archiving is enabled in the 'Options' view of the Configuration, and set a proper value for the 'Archive After' field. There's no recommended value for it, it depends on the number of messages you have and how often your view is refreshed.
