How to Make Lotus Notes client Startup Faster
Here are a few things you can do to make the Notes client startup faster:
- Minimize the number of databases on your Welcome Page (if you’re using a Welcome Page)
- Disable “Check Subscriptions” and “Scan for Unread” startup options in User Preferences
- Disable “Replicate When Notes Starts” on Location document
Use Network Compression
If both your client and your server are running ND6 or higher, you can enable network compression to speed up communications. Note that this has to be enabled on both the client and the server.
Use CLIENT_CLOCK to Troubleshoot Database Performance
There is a Notes.ini file setting called CLIENT_CLOCK that shows what kind of Notes RPC traffic is going on between client and server when you’re performing operations in a database. This can be very useful when trying to determine exactly what’s taking so long when you’re doing specific things in a database (like opening the database itself or creating a new document). The available settings are:
; enable NRPC output at the client CLIENT_CLOCK=1 ; show NRPC traffic in a console window DEBUG_CONSOLE=1 ; output NRPC traffic to a text file DEBUG_OUTFILE=c:\nrpc.txt
