Notes 8.5 rocks!04:07:35 PMI loaded the Gold version of Notes 8.5 today and let me say, it is great. 
I've played around with the Betas, of course, including the new Mac client, but my day-in day-out client of late has been 8.0.2 and I'm here to let you know 8.5 is significantly faster.
Significantly.
And this, running on XP inside a VM session on a Macintosh. I may not be able to stand the speed of the native Mac client (though I'm willing to try).
It's like when you first get a new computer and everything that used to be slow is now fast again. I'm still in the look-how-fast-it-does-that euphoria.
If you've been using one of the early ND8 versions and are complaining about speed, take a look at 8.5. For me, at least, it is waaaaay better.
Nice job, Lotus, and...thanks!

I concur with your findings, it's very much faster!
You probably know this, but other VMWare Fusion wannabies might find it useful:
For best performance under VMWare
- If you're going to run Windows, make sure it's XP 64bit. It contains code that VMWare can use to make it more efficient and run faster.
- Don't forgett to check that you use SCSI disk under VMWare! Yes, even if you don't actually have/use SCSI. It will make a substantional difference in performance.
I suggest you use the "Easy Install"-option under VMWare so you don't have to worry about drivers for your SCSI disks, for one.
That's about it, that I know of. Regular performance optimizations of XP apply as well of course. Turning of everything you don't need.
I use this on my Hackintosh: Lenovo T61 and dualboot XP and OS X 10.5.6 and it absolutely rocks! If it weren't for the VPN connection I must have to work I would drop the Windows virus altogether... 
Keep it up!

One's perception of system quality is governed under the statement of overall system reliability. A widely accepted definition of software reliability is the probability that a computer system performs its destined purpose without failure over a specified time period within a particular execution environment. This execution environment is known formally as the operational profile, which is defined in terms of sets of possible input values together with their probabilities of occurrence. An operational profile is used to drive a portion of the system testing. Software reliability modeling is therefore applied to data gathered during this phase of testing and then used to predict subsequent failure behavior during actual system operations
