Default Lint messing up my tension

What kind of thread puts off the least amount of lint into a sewing machine?

I've recently come to realize I have to clean the lint out below my needleplate every HOUR of sewing, to avoid tension problems. It's not easy... two screws have to removed to get the needleplate off to clean it. I'm sick of all this lint!

Any ideas, besides thread, that would help me not create so much lint? I do sew fast... is that a contributing factor?
