viewing messages in PST is very slow

I'd like to find out why viewing messages at home is so slow when I switch
or select different messages in my Inbox from a PST in Outlook XP. It
happens with with any message including short, straight text messages. Size
of PST at home is 14 MB.

I've tried turning off anti-virus, defrag the harddisk, and checked the PST
with the Inbox Repair Tool (no problems found), but no improvement.

When I go to work, using Outlook 2000 (PST is 156 MB), accessing different
items is immediate.

Is there a know issue in Outlook XP, or any other suggestions?

Thanks in advanced,
