Night and Day

Night = Outlook 2007 SP1
Day = Outlook 2007 SP2

What a difference.  Finally Outlook performs like you would expect an email client to perform.  Navigating through Outlook 2007 SP1 in cached mode was generally like wading through treacle - down right hard work and interjected with unexpected pauses and delays.

SP2 is a huge improvement.  Flipping from Inbox to Calendar, to Contacts is now fast.  When you delete an email it just disappears, no hour glass, no disc spinning, nothing - it is joyful!

It makes you realise how bad Outlook 2007 SP1 was!  On to wider testing, then looking to get this deployed asap!
