Is office 2007 sluggish?

Legacy_user

Just curious if its me that has noticed this. But it seems alot more sluggish that 2003. Outlokk 03 opened instantly, clicked on a link in email and opened as I say instantly. Outlook 07 sits doing nothing for 10 secs or so.

Works fine for me.

I have a dual core processor 4gb of memory and notice that Office 2007 is noticably slower/sluggish that 2003.

Have you installed all of the updates, including SP1, as there were numerous performance issues addressed in those..

Office 2007 works well for me too, I might even go as far as saying perhaps a little faster than Office 2003. Like another poster said, Office 2007 SP1 is well worth installing and should speed up some of the apps.

Outlook 2007 is rather slow though, but I've heard that some of the performance issues will be resolved in SP2 which is being worked on at the moment.

i have a quad core with 4gb ram (well, 3.25gb as i only have 32bit windows) and its quite a bit slower even with office sp1 installed.
