Good eye, Shane! It does feel more responsive now. [Shane Hathaway, on Wed, 29 Mar 2000] :: Ever since I started using Zope I thought its management :: interface was a little sluggish. Today I found out why, and :: the correction is very easy. If you are running Zope in :: development mode, especially in Unix, you will notice a :: healthy improvement in responsiveness. :: :: It turns out that because of a small bug, every time a DTML :: file is read from the file system (including management :: pages) it is re-parsed whether the file was modified or not. :: The reason is because the current logic checks not only the :: file modification date but also the file access date, which :: changes every time the file is read. :: :: Open lib/python/App/special_dtml.py in a text editor. :: Change one line (probably line 115) from: :: :: t=os.stat(self.raw) :: :: to: :: :: t=os.path.getmtime(self.raw) :: :: Restart Zope and enjoy a slightly faster development cycle!
