Hi,
Hopefully this is the right forum to ask this question. I have a
large client that has been experiencing performance issues with their
Outlook clients when using a large amount of Outlook add-ins/plug-ins.
Is there a best practices for the amount of add-ins to use? e.g. a
maximum of?
Does anyone have experience with the Symantec Corp 10.1.x (I believe
that is version) plug in for Outlook? Everything seems to work fine
with Outlook under certain cir***stances (small emails) but then when
the inbox is full of larger emails and ones with attachments
performance drops and then if I load another COTS Outlook plug-in
performance dropped to where Outlook is unusable. I ran process
explorer and saw that the drain was all I/O. I then ran procmon to
see what outlook was doing and Outlook was extrememly busy reading
images from disk. The easy solution is we remove the plug-ins but
that is not our decision.
How does Outlook work with Plug-ins? Are the items read from memory
or from disk? Are there performance gotchas? Advice?
Thanks,
Nate
