Improve Microsoft Outlook Performance

I have been facing a big slowdown in performing any actions in MS Outlook - be it reading mails, trying to reply. Then I found that my personal mail folder was around 3.5GB and I have only 512MB of RAM on my laptop (I know its primitive) so most of time Windows was doing paging.
Then I found this brilliant article Improve Microsoft Outlook Performance on how to have more than one personal mail folders. Ever since I created a new data file, using Outlook is much less painful.
