Lotus Neophyte

As easily seen by my blog title, I declare myself to be a Lotus Neophyte, a collaboration and work flow challenged person, a dabbler in web based applications and a fetus in java programming.
So I beg your pardon as I ask the most infantile Lotus questions:

Infantile Question #1:  Why would having the current date (Today's Date) as filter to a notes view cause the view to have refresh issues?  What is the best workaround to lessen/avoid the problem?

Here is the scenario:
  We have an application which records the scheduled  meetings per salesmen in Notes documents.  Our client requested that she has a view that shows only the current date's scheduled meetings per salesman and another view to show the future scheduled meetings per salesman.

The view:
    Salesman
       Company
           Company Category
              Month + Year
                  Date       Purpose of meeting      Time of Meeting         Contact Person               Designation            Address
 
I have been told that this view will be quite slow as the number of document increases since the view will need to be refreshed all the time. Every click of the user will result in a refresh.
