I've been using Outlook for a long while. In the line of work I do, a

size runs up to 1.5 - 2GB despite cleanup and archiving of all mails
older than 6 months to a different PST file.
Problems I face:
1. slow startup.
2. pretty slow mail search within Outlook. (thus I use google desktop
search for mails too)
3. crashes which lead to pst recovery the next time around.
4. hangs.
Which version of Outlook are you using? I have a close to 3GB .OST
(equivalent to .PST when using Exchange accounts) and I don't face any
of these problems - but mine is Outlook 2003 Pro though which supports
the UNICODE format OST files (upto 20GB).
