Startup wise OL2007 does seem a bit slower than OL2003 on startup. The rest
of the performance seems similar though

Is it just an accepted fact that Outlook 2007 is slower than Outlook 2003?
I have a relatively new machine running xp pro with 4G ram duo core but
outlook 2007 takes about 15-17 seconds to open to my inbox. I have done
the usual check for RSS and add ins. Once Outlook is openned it works
fine its just the openning of the program. Any suggestions are welcomed
