On the beginning of this month, I asked on this blog if I should upgrade to Office 2007. I was mostly worried about Outlook being slow.
Well, that blog post has generated a lot of buzz (on my blog-scale-buzz-meter).
Not only we had a few good comments, but I got a bunch of email and not less than 185 times someone searched for "outlook 2007 slow" and found that entry on Google.
A lot of people are having problems with Outlook 2007. Microsoft should quickly release some fixes to the perf issue.
Here is my help to Microsoft...
I run a very unusual setup because I have two Exchange accounts. One is my personal account (calbucci.com) and the other is Sampa's (sampa.com). Since Outlook doesn't allow me to have 2 Exchange accounts on the same profile I have two profiles, and I switch back and forth between them all day long (I know, very annoying).
When I'm at the office, and I run the Sampa profile, Outlook is quite fast and effective (except when I'm opening messages with images on it, either linked or embedded). When I open my Calbucci profile things don't go so well. The difference? On the Calbucci profile, the connection is always RPC over HTTP. On Sampa it is not. That should give some clue to some perf tester at what to look for. Good luck.
