While there are a number of factors that underly performance...
the results you are describing are not consistent with IBM's measurements.
Let me describe a couple of considerations and data points that are necessary to fully understood your context.
An initial open of a database, either locally or on a server, can take longer since the physical database information will not be present in the OS's disk cache. A subsequent open will be faster since it will often be cached by the OS and/or by the Domino server.
Opening a database for the first time (or after switching between releases), can also take some additional time. For the 1st open, view/folder indexes need to be rebuilt to ones that are compatible with the release. Subsequent opens can and will use the new indexes.
If a database was not properly closed, then a database fixup will often need to run to ensure the integrity of the database. The time required for a fixup is generally proportional to the size of the database. If the client is not closing properly, then it is possible that fixup is being run on the database at its next use.
Your description of minutes to open a database, consistently, is at least an order of magnitude off from our mail and calendar measurements, both for 1st open and subsequent open.
If the client is not closing all of its processes on shutdown, there may be a deadlock situation. Information to determine the problem can be collected as described below. The same steps below can be used to collect information to troubleshoot the database open.
Collecting data for a hang Collecting data for a hang
If the Notes Client is unresponsive, and remains unresponsive, it may be hung.
To determine the root cause of the hang, an NSD and Java core file need to be generated.
To do so, perform the following steps:
1. Open a DOS command prompt
2. Switch to the Notes data directory
3. Run ..\NSD (no args, assuming that the program dir is "above" the data directory
4. After the NSD completes, supply these 2 files, or do an ISA data collection
