Hello Casey,
One thing to remember is that running multi-treaded Python apps on a multi-processor box is suboptimal unless you can bind all the threads to a single processor, due to the Python GIL.
IOW : Buying a dual processor computer is not so usefull if the computer is dedicated running zope? And if you have to use a dual CPU computer, binding all the threads to a single processor increases zope performance? (If so, how can you do that? :)
The only way to do a true comparison would be to run the same tests on the same app on the same hardware with the same load but with different OSes.
That's true. I was wondering if you guys at zope comp. have any recent benchmarks yourself with the different Operating systems? Martijn.
