Increase Lotus Notes and Domino Performance
Minimize Deletion Stubs
In a Lotus Notes Database that gets archived frequently, or that has a large number of “temporary” documents that get removed on a scheduled basis, you can keep your Lotus Notes Database lean by reducing the number of deletion stubs it maintains.
You can use the “Remove Documents Not Modified in Last X Days” property, set in the database replication options to minimize deletion stubs in Lotus Notes Databases with a lot of deletions. Deletion stubs get purged at about one half the number of days specified in this setting, regardless of whether or not the setting is active
Adjust Full-Text Index Options
Adjust the frequency of full-text index updates on large Lotus Notes Databases with many changes . Also, skip indexing attachments unless necessary. For large or volatile databases this can alleviate work by the Indexer task.
Define Anonymous in the ACL
This is a pretty small performance gain, but you should always explicitly define the “Anonymous” user access in the ACL of a web-enabled database. It’s much more efficient for the lotus notes database to find the Anonymous user directly in the ACL, instead of having to do a nested lookup through all the groups in the ACL to see if Anonymous happens to be defined there (especially if you’re using LDAP). It also makes it easier to control the web access to your databases right from the start.
Limit Use of “Strong Encryption”
Don’t use “Strong Encryption” on lotus notes databases unless absolutely necessary, especially on high-use server-based databases. It adds a lot of overhead when the notes client has to keep translating everything in the database. If you must use database encryption, Medium and Low encryption have much less overhead.
