Hi,

I have a VB.NET (2.0) application that integrates with Outlook 2003. I
have windows XP SP2.
The users had Windows 2000, and Office 2000. They upgraded (!) to Office
2003.

But:
- an action that takes 0,5 seconds on my pc, takes them 4-5 seconds
- an action that takes 2,5 seconds on my pc, takes them 8-9 seconds

So for a test we completely desinstalled Office 2003, and did a full
re-install of 2003 on a system. Performance increased with +- 30%: times
are now 2,5 seconds and 6 seconds. But still much more than my 0,5 and
2,5....

What's the reason of this performance-problem? The user do have as much
RAM as I, do have a better processor! (I have a stupid Centrino, they a P4
with HT).

Will installing Windows XP the solution? Does Office 2003 perform better
on Windows XP than on Windows 2000?

Any help our hints would be really appreciated!
Thanks a lot in advance,

Pieter
