Lotus notes performance

Hello, this is a question about lotus notes / domino performance.

We are currently building a lotus notes applications that are supposed to be ran on a domino server, it crawl the internet to retreive alot of information. This means that it will need to capture alot of diskspace in the future, will this be a problem for lotus notes to handle?

And does lotus notes 8 have support for DB2, in this way we might consider this as an option.

The application is written in java.

Subject: DB2 support since version 7

Domino shouldn’t have any trouble handling whatever you throw at it, depending on hardware.

Good luck!
