Previously, unless you used special parameters, running IBM Installation Manager to apply a cumulative fix would both update the Portal product files and simultaneously configure the Portal profile. With the new procedure, Installation Manager will now only update the product files, and you will be required to run a pair of separate commands to configure the profile. Before now, the additional commands were required in certain situations; now they will be required in all upgrade cases.

2 – Shutdown the Notes client.
3 – Create a script to delete the files. It is a txt file with the following :

A customer askme last week if the we separate WCM code from content has impact  on WCM/Portal performance.

My answer was No, there is no impact but the customer need an official response.  I opened a PMR and receive the response today :

For example, see the following link:

Multiple libraries does not incur additional performance penalties since references are by UUID, which is independent of library.
=======================================

The IBM Notes Traveler client for Android devices allows the end user to connect to their Traveler server over HTTPS (using SSL) or the open HTTP standard.
