I suspect you are referring to the characteristic that several Linux
memory-reporting tools list the memory used by one Zope process once
for each thread.
That's not the characteristic I am referring to....Each zope publisher
thread really does have its own copy of the ZODB object cache.
You can verify this by checking the value "Total number of objects in
all of the caches combined" from Control Panel. This number should be
roughly (number of threads) * (target size), although there are many
factors that can affect it.

This is only true if Zope is saturating your processor. It may not be
true if you are publishing any methods that are mostly I/O (file
access, or other web requests)
