Terrible performance with Outlook 2007 and Hotmail

This problem isn't new, I had it with XP and Outlook 2003.  I was hoping that it would go away with Vista and Outlook 2007. 
 
There is a significant delay whenever I:
  1. Start Outlook and try to open my inbox (it needs to log on to hotmail and I understand this to a certain extent
  2. Try to click on various messages in the in box. 

It is not uncommon for the system to give me what was formally the hour glass as it tries to pull the message down.

Are there tips/tricks that I'm missing (e.g. specific settings I can change)?  Should I consider using something else like Express? 

Thanks for your help.

    Use your browser instead of Outlook. Outlook is better for POP mail. Just go to www.Hotmail.com and sign in and use the online address book and tools. It will even import your contacts.
