Default Outlook pre-SP2 update going wild every minute

Hi,

I have recently installed the pre- Office SP2 Outlook update (see
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=968009 - I installed both packages).
The update has been installed on 3 systems: 2 XP Pro french systems
(monoprocessor mobo) and one XP Pro english system (dual core). The
problem I'm describing below cannot be observed on the dual core system.

Exactly *every minute*, Outlook is going wild and loading the CPU at
100%. Depending on the system, this can last up to 4-5 seconds. During
this period, everything is freezed. You can't even click on a button.
When observing the process activity with ProcMon, one can see that
Outlook is **massively** using the registry during this period (about
15-20 000 events - yes, twenty thousands!).

Of course, this generates some trouble because any activity is
interrupted during a few seconds every minute (typing, mouse clicks and
wheeling,...).

Anyone experiencing the same problem?

Thanks in advance.
