Improving Outlook 2007 Performance With Pre-SP2 performance update
After the release of Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 its having major performance issues. This performance pack made significant improvements in terms of Outlook’s performance and responsiveness:
- General Responsiveness – the Outlook 2007 SP1 February 2009 cumulative update reduces I/O disk usage and UI response time.
- Startup – the Outlook 2007 SP1 February 2009 cumulative update removes long operations from initial startup (please note that there is a one-time data structure upgrade cost after the first install that takes a relatively linear amount of time based on the size of your PSTs and OST).
- Shutdown – the Outlook 2007 SP1 February 2009 cumulative update makes Outlook exit predictably despite pending activities (for more information, please see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd239276.aspx).
- Folder/View Switch – the Outlook 2007 SP1 February 2009 cumulative update improves view rendering and folder switching.
