I do not have WDS installed, so I am suspect about that being the issue.
As a side note, I get the beach ball when I close the Outlook windows. This indicates (at least to me) that it is something on the Mac-side that is causing the delays. If it were a Windows application, would the beach ball still appear? I have been under the impression that if the Windows OS were to get hung, it would not affect the Mac OS.
I'm still digging...
