Re: Client Performance Issues

["Patrick Trapp" <ptrapp@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is the problem only with your remote users, or is everyone seeing it?  You
specify the remote folks, but make it sound like it's everyone...

I'm not much good on optimizing the iSeries -- we have an SE on staff that
handles that for us here -- but I know that just moving from R5 to ND6 was
a significant performance improvement for us, especially for remote and
dialup users.  We didn't tweak anything at that time, so I took that to
mean the new release got the credit for being faster.  How did your
physical hardware specs change when you moved to the iSeries?

Good evening:

We recently moved off of an older model AS/400 to a new iSeries. In the
move, we upgraded Domino from R5.0.11 to Domino 6.5.1. We have T-1
connections to our remote office (California). There are no applications
on the Domino server, it is strictly mail. Since the upgrade, all I have
heard is how slow Notes is now. I have to admit that it is slow. It
probably takes a good minute to open a mail file, to switch views, open
the calendar view, etc. Being a "smart" guy, I just replicated my mail
locally so when people call, I can say that I don't see it (LOL! - I
think that is a Dilbert-ism). Any way, I digress.

OS/400 V5R2
Domino 6.5.1 (only one partition on the iSeries)

To make this even more fun, the IT Manager thinks it is because we also
installed Trend's Anti Virus software on the server (V2 Release 5 Mod
0). I don't think so . . . I think that I may have *Base pool set too
low. Would that cause the Notes clients (all 6.5.1) to really slow down
during database operations in Domino? I have no problem turning on
performance adjustment and checking. But before I do, I figured that I
would ask for esteemed group's opinion.

Thanks.

Gregg
