Speed of OL2003 over OL2000

[Michael Ray Browm]

I'm currently using Outlook 2000, but am considering an upgrade to Outlook
2003. One issue I'm concerned about is the speed with which Outlook lists
various items in a Contact's "Activities" tab. After a fresh boot, Outlook
2000 takes as long as 2 minutes to list every related item in my .pst file.
Is Outlook 2003 any faster, all things being equal? I've heard that Outlook
2003 is actually slower at searching than Outlook 2000, and I wonder if this
also extends to the slowness with which it will display "Activities."

I've never timed it, but I expect it will be about the same. They didn't
work on that feature at all.

Michael,
I moved from Outlook 2000 almost three years ago. 2003 seems to be the same.
At the moment, I have 2,305 contacts. All have name, street city, state,
ZIP, phone and e-mail addressses. Searches are of no consequence. (get to
take a breath)

Chuck,

Thanks for relating your experiences. I tend to be impatient with Outlook's
searches. When I'm on the phone with a client, and want to look up past
correspondence and conversations, it's frustrating to tell him to wait a
minute while my computer cranks away.

Is it any faster looking through a paper file?

No, but in ECCO Pro, my previous PIM, all history (calls and correspondence)
would appear instantaneously under the contact. The same in ACT! and Lotus
Organizer. I guess I'm spoiled.
