Name autocomplete sluggish in Outlook 2007

[KC]

I have been using Outlook 2007 for 2 months and have found that when the .nk2
grows (mine is 112KB right now), autocomplete gets very sluggish. You start
typing and don't see the characters immediately, the editor appears to lock
up, then after a few seconds you see the results. Addressing becomes a real
hassle if you use autocomplete (as opposed to GAL/Contacts lookup). If you
rename/delete the .nk2 file, performance improves for a little while, then as
it grows it gets bad again. Anyone have a solution for this other than
waiting for SP1? Is this a known issue with the RTM version?

I can't repro this with a NK2 file of 80KB. If you did an upgrade on Outlook
recreate your mail profile;
