I would consider that kind of performance unacceptable. Was Office
factory installed or a copy you installed yourself ? First, I'd visit the
Office update site and make sure your copy is fully updated. If the
notebook is brand new, it may be trying to build your Indexing catalogs
and that takes a heavy hit on performance. Is the lag only present on
Outlook or do other programs exhibit this problem as well ?
You'll find the Automatic update facility for Office at:
http://www.office.microsoft.com
*Upper, Right Corner of the page.
Might be worth reposting the Vendor/Model # of the notebook.
