SpamBayes will increase the time that Outlook takes to load (although it
shouldn't be all that much longer), but shouldn't effect the response time
once the program is running (apart from when it's actually doing something,
like if you click "Delete as Spam", or if incoming mail is being filtered).

If you disable SpamBayes, does this go away?  If not, if you uninstall
SpamBayes (your configuration and training data is not uninstalled, so will
automatically still be there when you reinstall), does it go away then?

How many ham and spam messages have you trained on?  I suppose one cause
could be that your database is really big, so Outlook is taking a lot of
memory, and you're really short on memory.  Hard to tell without more
information.  What version of Windows are you using?  If it's NT/2k/XP, take
a look at the Task Manager (via ctrl-alt-delete) and see what numbers are
next to Outlook.exe in the CPU and Memory columns (these are the XP names, I
can't recall what the NT/2k ones are).
