Default Slow at switching to Contacts

Hi,
Everytime i switch from Mail, calender, tasks, notes etc.. to Contacts it
takes around 20-30 seconds.

Is there anything i could do to speed this up.

I have a lot of emails in my sent folder (which i need to keep for work) so
it makes my outlook backup.pst file well over a gig, will this affect the
problem im having?

Im running
Outlook 2003 (Sp3) 11.8217.8221
Windows XP (SP3)

Thanks
Si

Do you have pictures in your contact records? Do you have the Google Maps
plug-in for Outlook?

I don't think that's a factor.

Is your PST an ANSI PST or a Unicode PST?
