Depending on the number of documents, the
use of private views in databases should be limited.
When creating private views, you should store them on the user's desktop
if your environment does not allow users to switch from one machine to
another.
For performance reasons, if you do store
the private view inside the Notes database, the client will have to force
Domino to re-index the view and the client has to wait until that task
is finished. If your network does not have much bandwidth, end users will
probably have to wait a lot of time to see the complete view.
Another performance issue occurs after 45 days of user inactivity in a
database, and all private view indexes need to be rebuilt on access. Domino
8 can help you improve a lot this situation. Prior

each views you have one global view index plus for each collation (Sorted
columns in views) a specific index. As
of Domino 8, you
can defer index creation:
