Performance problem with inotes6.ntf

HiSince we use inotes6.ntf, the performance using email and calendar are not very good.

For instance, I do the same actions on the same mail file with inotes60, the performance is a lot better than with inotes6.ntf.

Do you know this problem?

Do you know a way to increase performance?

Thank you

happy new year

We just converted everyone in our organization to ND6.5 with iNotes6.ntf. The access is VERY fast. Of course the servers are configured with Mirrored drives, which I think makes all the world of difference.

I’ve been arguing with my server people for months as I’ve been putting the specs together for our new servers. They want RAID 5, I want RAID 1. I won, and the server people now see the error in their ways because the speed is tremendous.

There is some improvement which iNotes access and ND 6.5. but disk configuration is not he only thing that will you here. Faster network connection, and better CPU on the connecting pc. There are benchmank done by HP/Compaq and Dell that show that adding iNotes account a server decrease the perfomance of the server.

You need to remember that iNotes is mostly xml and Java, well I don’t know anymore,these spec are very cpu intence not disk intence.

Basically, it seems that adding an R5iNotes user to an existing R5Mail server will require roughly four times the server CPU and three times the memory as a comparable Notes client. In addition, the increase in traffic on the network will be about double, but the disk usage will only be half.


To simplify matters, all of the following numbers were measured while using the same Netfinity 4-way server. This is a mid-range server by today’s standards. Also note that this was not a maximum or peak users test but instead was testing on a reasonably loaded server. Netfinity 5500r M20 Server

Processors 4x 500 MHz Pentium III Xeon

Memory 2.5 GB

Domino data disks 2x EXP 15 RAID 0 arrays with 9 disks each

Network 100 Mhz full duplex Ethernet

OS Windows 2000 server

Domino 5.0.8

Just curious… Domino 5.0.8 was released in June 2001. Why are you still using such an old version of Domino server?

No using an old server but just some sample of the benchmark done with inotes.
