You didn't give us much information, but yes the outlook client is
significantly slower than the web client, theres no question about that.

But for overall performance, that would depend on your CRM environment. Are
you hosting all services on just one machine? Or do you have it split
amoungst other servers? I have both environments. Our production is split
amoungst multiple servers and we don't have performance issues. I also have
a test server where I placed the entire environment on one box and its very
slow.

And as usual you may want to add more memory or upgrade your CPU if your
servers to too slow. CRM put a very heavy load on my SQL and Exchange
servers.

Well, outlook is bloated as it is, and I noticed load up times just to get
outlook open after I installed CRM client was significantly high.

I think one reason is because it was written differently than the
webclient........and they tried releasing a latest version (you do have the
June 2003 edition, right?), and they might release a better version this
december, god willing.

Personally I dont use the outlook client much mainly for that reason. And if
it weren't for the fact that there are some activities that you can do in
outlook and not in the webclient, I would never use the outlook client.
