Outlook become non responsive if i write outlook item in bulk

[Ashish]

I already had, in Outlook 2003 SP03 machine, but now i came to know that a

latest hotfix released in april resolved this issue in clean machine.

The issue was still reproducible with out addin, and that was GC issue,

calling GC.waitforfinalizer resolved it to a large extent.
