Outlook slowed down seriously

My Outlook 2003 started slowing down seriously 2 days ago. It still
works, but VERY slow. Not only during sending and receiving emails,
just the whole program. E.g. when I click on the Outlook button on the
task bar to get Outlook reappear, the Outlook frame and toolbars
appear, but it takes ages for Outlook to show its content. Opening an
email, and opening next email take ages (1 minute!) as well. The Task
Manager shows only 3% of the CPU resources and a usual 50% of my 1MB
memory are used, 50% HDD free, the HHD (or processor?) use indicator
light not fully on, so it's not an overload of the machine. All other
programs (incl Word) are still working fine. Outlook pst files: 217 MB
+ archive 1.1GB.

I haven't changed anything on the machine over the last couple of days.
NAV still operational, no other big programs running.

Please give me an idea how to get it back working fast again (before I
reinstall Outlook).
