On February 24th 2009, Microsoft released an update for Microsoft Outlook 2007. General reports indicate that this update is solving a lot of problems for users experiencing instability and speed issues with Outlook 2007.
But… this update is NOT carried out automatically if you are using Windows Updates and it is even not available for download. Instead you need to request the download from Microsoft using a form on their website.
Although I have not tested the update myself (my Outlook has been behaving very well recently), here are the most important links that I could find on this topic.

WARNING: Make sure you don't need to use Outlook immediately after installing the update. Your Outlook data files will be converted the first time you open Outlook. This may take a few hours if you have a lot of data.
Did the update work for you?
