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

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
