Optimize Local Workspace Configuration

The configuration of the local workspace options is done on the client computers by users as described in Configure local workspace. However, these options can have an adverse impact on performance under specific circumstances, in particular when the local workspace is larger than necessary. The primary options affecting overall system performance are:

Meridian application server performance can be adversely affected when large numbers of documents are stored in users' local workspaces and synchronization is occurring at the default setting of every 30 minutes. Even with the local workspace option Synchronize recently accessed writable documents only enabled, the system will still verify the synchronization of every document in the local workspace folders. Verifying the synchronization of excessive numbers of documents can cause poor performance of the Meridian application server, resulting in poor client performance.
