8.5 is terrible slower than R6.5 or R7

I have a lotusscript agent when runs on R8.5 it takes 15 minutes, on R6.5 only 7 minutes. The processor usage on R8.5 100%, while R6.5 only 66% Sometimes it process more than 4000 documents. Previously I optimized very well the agent because of the huge amount of data. I’ve developed many business applications in lotusscript in the past 11 years but its new Java based 8.5 is terrible slow, and its unacceptable. I hope the 8.5.1 is better, but who can wait until…

Subject: I think we saw this too…

In our testing though it was hard to tell because 8.5 kept crashing. But this could be your problem too:

There was a crash that had a fix introduced in 7.0.4, 8.0.2, and (I believe) 8.5 that caused horrific (200%+) slowdowns if you used lists and/or lots of string manipulation.

In 8.5.1 you can disable that crash fix (opening you up to the crash, which is a really rare crash) and get the performance back. From the Fix List DB:

SPR # DPOL7PEHQX

Fixed in release:

8.5.1

Product Area: Server; Client Technical Area: Platform: Cross Platform

SPR# DPOL7PEHQX - The fix for SPR DCOE6KPW48 can cause a performance issue when heavy array processing is in use. This SPR provides a new ini - FullTrimFix=0 - to disable DCOE6KPW48, which then will restore performance.

Subject: Thanx this parameter is solved the problem

Thanx Erik, the 8.5.1 has the same problem, but the notes.ini parameter (FullTrimFix=0) is solved it.

Many thanx…
