The Domino Web Access workload scenario is similar to the Mail and Calendaring workload except that the Domino mail files are accessed through HTTP from a Web browser and there is no scheduling or calendaring taking place. When accessing mail through Notes, the Notes client performs the majority of the work. When a web browser accesses mail from a Domino server, the Domino server bears the majority of the processing load. The browser’s main purpose is to display information.

11.2 Domino 8

Domino 8 may provide performance improvements for Notes clients. Test results comparing Domino performance with Domino 7 and Domino 8 have been published in a 2-part series of articles. The following links refer to these articles:

11.3 Domino 7

Domino 7 provides performance improvements for both Notes and Domino Web Access clients. Test results comparing Domino performance with Domino 6.5 and Domino 7 have been published in a 3-part series of articles titled Domino 7 Server Performance. The results show that Domino 7 reduces the amount of CPU required for a given number of users and workload rate as compared with Domino 6.5. The articles also show that the added function in the new Domino 7 mail templates do require some extra processing resources. Results with Domino 7 using the Domino 7 templates show improvements over Domino 6.5 with the Domino 6 mail templates, while Domino 7 with the Domino 6 template provides the
