Re: remote performance suggestions needed

[Robert Laing <rlaing@xxxxxxxxx>]

When they bring their laptops into the office, local performance is fine.

We did enable network compression on the server and on one user's laptop, 
unfortunately we have no tools to gauge connection performance so we can't 
say that it improved his connection -- we only hear that it didn't make 
any difference.

I'll look into creating local replicas, try it on one user and see what 
the reaction is.

Another comment I've heard from a couple people is that when their laptop 
has been sitting idle with the Notes client open, it takes a while to 
reconnect or re-establish the session.  Short of lengthening the session 
time-out -- any other settings that would impact this ?

Thanks for the input...

Bob

If the internal performance is fine, then this is definitely something
network-related. If these are laptops, have them bring them into the 
network
and see how they perform. If they're desktops, then there could be some
stuff running on them (spyware) to cause it to be slow.

Is network compression enabled on the Domino Server's port as well as the
Notes clients? This could help some for sure - especially if you set them 
up
with local replicas and have them work off of those copies when at home.
