Performance enhancing tips with reader access controlled documents

The following are some tips for making applications/views that perform well even with reader access controlled documents:
- Embedded view using Show Single Category. This is the winner, hands down. If your data is structured so that users can see all the documents in a category, then you can display just the contents of that category very quickly to the user. In some cases, it may make sense to let the user switch categories, in which case you have to consider whether or not he can see the contents of the other categories. But in most cases, the view would be something like My Sales and would show all the sales documents for the current user. The caveat for this kind of view is that the user interface for the Notes client is not quite as nice as the native view display. For Web browsers, it is just as good, and we have never seen a reason not to use this kind of view for Web browser applications. In fact, the performance is so good that it’s faster to open one of these with reader access controlled documents than to open a native view without reader access controlled documents!
