Speed boost for your Notes client on Linux


You need enough RAM. Follow these steps (adopted from here):
  1. Stop the Notes client
  2. Create a new directory: mkdir ~/notestemp
  3. Edit your notes.ini and add:
    view_rebuild_dir=/home/[yourid]/notestemp/
    NOTES_TEMPDIR=/home/[yourid]/notestemp/
    TempDir=/home/[yourid]/notestemp/
  4. Edit the mounting table: sudo gedit /etc/fstab
    Add this line (one line, tab separated values):
    tmpfs /home/[yourid]/notestemp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0
    and save the file
  5. Mount the new directory:sudo mount -a (a restart would do too)
  6. Start the Notes client
  7. Optional: Move more temp stuff to tmpfs
(Don't forget: [yourid] stands for your login name, don't take it literally). As usual: YMMV.

    great idea! I have moved other stuff into memory for Linux before but for some reason never put 2 and 2 together and tried to do it for the notes client. Awesome!

    Is there any similar way to boost designer client performance on windows XP?
