Emoticons freeze my Messenger briefly

On the new Windows Live Messenger 8.1, every time someone sends me a custom
emoticon, the conversation window freezes (not responding) until the
emoticon is completely downloaded. It doesn't matter what size the emoticon
is or how long it plays for. This happens 70% of the time with people who
send me a custom emoticon.

But this didn't use to happen on 8.0 or previous versions. I don't want to
disable Custom Emoticons either because I want this freeze-problem repaired.

I have tried countless reinstalls and computer clean-ups but the problem
remains.

Does this happen to anyone else who is on Live Messenger 8.1? Is there
anything I can do to fix it, apart from disabling the functionality?
