I was able to solve this problem by creating a new profile in outlook. Once
that was done everything ran fine. Somehow the update to SP 2 resulted in my
old profile being damaged in some way that lead to slow sending of email.
After creating the new profile I had to move all of my current and save
email into the new profile by manipulating the data files. I also had to
export/import my contacts. It was rather tedious and technical. But it worked.
Here is a link on the subject of creating new profiles.
