This happens on the old msn versions when you have around 1k contacts... I had the same problem...
anyway...
From 9.0 onwards this has been improved alot with the contacs having there own server to run on.
with "9.0 beta" i dont seem to have any probs now 
" The deleted contacts i used to have are now back on msn and running fine "
~Edit~
9.0 has no probs running around 3k contacts

If you have more than 800 contacts, i'm concerned for you. You should try the "Contact List Cleanup" feature in Messenger Plus! Live and get rid of a couple hundred or thousand...Its not like you talk to them all...In all likelihood, you only talk to like, 150 people who are actually active on your buddylist...anymore is a rare exception.
