Outlook 2007 complaints

[Guest]

I’ve been using most of the 2007 beta products with little complaint (though
Word does print some documents incorrectly when headers and footers are
involved) and even enjoyment.

But my biggest complaint is Outlook 2007. It is not only as slow as
molasses, but it slows down my computer too.

I’ve set its priority to “Above Normal†in the Task Manager which helps a
little. But still, sometimes the cursor disappears while other times
everything freezes for a bit.

Is it possible to revert back to Outlook 2003 without losing my .pst file
which I assume was modified for 2007? Has Microsoft mentioned if they are
addressing this problem in the immediate future?

Yup, using it and Outlook is slow.
I see I am far from the only person with this problem, and my computer is a
pretty good machine.

Second question then is: Is it also this slow in safe mode? (Start, Run,
"outlook /safe").
How big is your PST?
Have you defragmented your harddrive recently?
