I've been doing some testing with larger long-term staking wallets and it seems limiting the coin fragmentation is only part of the problem. Another huge element turns out to be the fact that the wallet loads your entire transaction history when you open the wallet, including all of your stakes and orphans, regardless of your filters. An experimental wallet I've been working on that only loads the last weeks worth of staking history (full history of send-receives loads normally) has had dramatic results for responsiveness on wallets that have staked tens of thousands of times.
There's still some cosmetic bugs I'm trying to squash, but implementation ideas are welcome. At the moment I've just hardcoded in a week and put an option to enable full histories in the Settings -> Options -> Display window.
Personally I don't see the need to pull up stakes going back further than a week unless your stake history is rather light in the first place (hence the option to disable it). But if people want more control over that I can implement a slider or textbox to enter the number of days to load stakes.
I'm also toying with the idea of implementing an option to disable staking notifications - so heavy staker's can still enjoy standard send-receive notifications without being annoyed every few minutes with a staking popup.
Thoughs?

I just downloaded the new wallet and will report back if the responsiveness improves after a few days. The previous wallet was borderline unusable as it was constantly freezing up. Hopefully this release can lessen the frequency of lock-ups.

Awesome thanks Sumgye was having some issues with the wallet not responding will definitely try this. Was talking to fayoled about a solution for this problem looks like you have found it. Would like to ask a couple questions about this and settings for optimal staking. You should come by Slack catch up. Anyways thanks again.

Wallet Update
PinkCoin 1.2 Release Candidate (lite)
I am currently testing some wallet improvements, especially for people with a large number of coins (1m+) that are continuously staking. Please make a backup of your wallet.dat and test these wallets, especially if you've been having issues with the wallet hanging/freezing. Do not expect this wallet to solve the problem right away, it will happen slowly over time as you continue staking.
These improvements were made on the lite wallet to make it easier to track down problems. Once I am sure the lite wallet is running stably I will port the new updates to Pinkcoin 2.0.
PinkCoin Windows Wallet 1.2 RC1
PinkCoin Mac OS X Wallet 1.2 RC1
Updates:
Re-calibrated Staking System:
The staking system will consolidate coins in larger chunks. Over time this will reduce PC workload, reduce orphans, reduce the overall weight on the network, make staking more consistent, and the wallet more responsive regardless of the number of coins you have in it.
Network Weight Algorithm:
Estimated time to stake should now be more accurate.
New hardcoded nodes:
Pinkcoin.conf should no longer be necessary to just connect to the network.
Updated security:
The windows wallet is updated to OpenSSL 1.0.1L, the Mac wallet is updated to OpenSSL 1.0.2. The wallets include the necessary fixes to make them compatible with clients running previous versions.
This is a Recommended, but not a Mandatory update.
If you would like to continue running the 2.0 wallet until a new release is made, please feel free. But if you are having issues with your wallet, please try this one for a few days and see if the situation improves.
If you have any issues with the wallet please do not hesitate to reply here or contact me or fayoling via PM.
Thanks,
Sumgye

I'm here as well, patiently waiting. Glad to hear that development is still in full force.

Awesome to hear your still with us! Lots of great things coming and other things being used. Come visit our slack channel and you can get caught up. If you shoot me your email addy I can process an invite.
Currently the Pink Foundation is well underway and in testing. They have recently launched a series of Bitcoin trade bots to bring revenue to the coin and there is a Pay with Pink platform with direct fiat purchasing. Working hard to get everything tested and then released to the public. The Pink development team is not big on hype, in my opinion. When everything is in place in the very near future I am confident your held coins will be worth it.
Myself...I am accumulating as many as I can. Dm me or ask for a invite from @Pinkcoinlottery.

Here are some nodes. Do you know how to make a .conf file?
Oh and in my opinion there is no way this currency is in danger of dying. Feel free to ask @Pinkcoinlottery for an invite to our slack channel.
