100,000 addresses!!??!! WOW! You can't know that many people, so I guess
you manage a client database (or you're a spammer).

In any event, first empty your deleted items folder. Then archive old
messages to split your .pst file into something smaller. That should help.

The truth is, while I'd normally think that would be sufficient, with that
many addresses, you may need to consider splitting the address books (maybe
into two or three alphabetically split as evenly as possible) OR get one
hell of a lot faster computer. Minimum Pentium 4, but in truth, I'd
probably consider a Sun server or an EMC mainframe with that kind of volume.
 
Are you using the Outlook 2002 database version for your .pst file? If yes,
the default limit for items in folders is 65,000 so you are running on
borrowed time.
