A number of times the subject of slow startup times has been raised, because it's particularly annoying while developing python products. I've always found it very snappy (restart in less than 4 seconds), but yesterday I found a machine where it was much slower (20 seconds).
With the patch below, all my machines can now restart Zope in under 3 seconds ;-)
It now takes my zope on localhost about 5 seconds to restart, but that is much better than the 36 seconds it took before. Thank you very much for this patch. -- Duncan Booth duncan@dales.rmplc.co.uk int month(char *p){return(124864/((p[0]+p[1]-p[2]&0x1f)+1)%12)["\5\x8\3" "\6\7\xb\1\x9\xa\2\0\4"];} // Who said my code was obscure? http://dales.rmplc.co.uk/Duncan
