OK, I did this with mostly desired results. If I can get repeatable
conditions I'll write up what's slightly different in this particular
scenario from the above.

So, I had a new PST, opened the original, set it as pop3 mail location, and
again the FIRST message with attachment that I tried...opened fine.
Thereafter, slow as ever.

!!!!!!!

Also, it broke the ActiveSync, which is the least of my worries at this
point.

This machine was in trouble, was the one that originally resisted even
letting me start from scratch, and I'm waiting on the other test boxes to go
through the motions of uninstalling/reinstalling Office so I can
definitively switch to IMO mode with my setup+transform.

Will advise.

Looked pretty good for a SECOND, then an incredible letdown. Still at it
(what choice?) :/ :)
