8.5.1 Lotusscript INI setting: GO_FASTER=1

One of my customers called me 2 weeks ago (right in the middle of my vacation as usual ;)) that after upgrade to 8.5.1 FP2 the performance of one of their production servers got so bad that both the front-end and the back-end crawled to almost a full stop.
Since I was on vacation there was not much I could do, but luckily they got help from IBM, and although it took them almost a week they came up with the solution reported earlier by Erik Brooks.
It seems that the 8.5.1 Lotusscript engine has some serious performance issues due to SPR# DCOE6KPW48.
The SPR# DPOL7PEHQX apparently counteracts that problem providing a new ini - FullTrimFix=0 - to disable DCOE6KPW48, which then will restore performance.
Erik reported performance issues of agents running 3-4 times as slow, but my customer experienced far worse. So keep this in mind if you run 8.5 servers with complex applications.
