Now running 8.5.2, and a hidden gem
Domino 8.5.2 is GOLD! Just finished the
upgrade on our internal dev server as well as the server that hosts this
blog.
One thing that I don't think anyone talked about during the beta cycle was the massive performance improvement in start time of the later server. Check this out...
Yeah, that's from a post-upgrade, so normally the database scan wouldn't even be required.
From 01:45:52 to 01:46:12. That's 20 seconds from server start to responding to HTTP requests!
According to some IBMers I've talked to, this massive improvements is a side-effect of the LotusLive Notes enhancements. The cloud-based services model requires extremely rapid on-demand response cycles for Domino servers, so the mighty Russ Holden has been dogmatic in his insistence on improving start time. The results are, in my opinion, phenomenal.
So even if you're not looking to move your on-premises Domino environment into the cloud, you still got a great new benefit from it!
Happy upgrades!

Even our DMZ servers are up and running within 2 minutes. And that includes http, smtp, staddin (8.5.1) and cluster services.
Well done, IBM.
