The stock 18-55 AF shouldn't be that bad a performer (it's IQ under scrutiny that ultimately lets it down). Perhaps you have a bad copy?? The only time mine ever really 'hunts' for focus is when there is no area of sharp contrast in the frame, which is what the Canon algorithm goes for when focussing (I think).
Can you try another copy? If you don't know anyone locally, let me know. Although I have the 17-55, I kept the stock 18-55 lens for when I sell the camera. If you need to borrow it for a few days, you're quite welcome. Either way, yours should still be under warranty, but it sounds like it might be broken to me.
