Dog slow as compared to what? I would prefer to do the absolute minimum in terms of tuning. Most of my experience with Zope and otherwise is with Windows. Can I potentially get by just installing and running? How would it run that way on a current Solaris server with appropriate memory compared to say running on a P4 3meg Win2003 machine with appropriate memory. > I would recommend running multiple appserver processes, each with a > single "worker" thread, rather than trying to run a truly multi-threaded > appserver; you will then need to load balance them (e.g., with Pound). > I am not exactly sure what you are saying -- is this something to be done at the Zope end or with Solaris knowledge or both? _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
