Fixing outlook performance problems

I had a problem with outlook for the pass couple days where it would just hang for a couple of seconds periodically.  After some research on the Internet the article that resolved the problem was from Microsoft.  There is a utility called SCANPST.EXE which comes as part of the outlook installation package.  The location of this file varies based on the OS you are using so do a search to find the location as it might not be in the location given in the article.  For the fill steps on fixing the problem click here.
