Zope itself does not fork (unless you use "system", "popen" or things like that; in these cases, you do not want to bind the children to the same processor).
Well, I had that impression as well, but here is the output of ps on my machines (edited for cruft-removal): UID PID PPID C STIME TIME CMD zope 32538 14379 0 Feb09 00:02:32 python2.1 z2.py -X -w NNNN zope 32539 32538 0 Feb09 00:00:00 python2.1 z2.py -X -w NNNN zope 32541 32539 0 Feb09 00:00:09 python2.1 z2.py -X -w NNNN zope 32542 32539 0 Feb09 00:00:11 python2.1 z2.py -X -w NNNN zope 32543 32539 0 Feb09 00:01:52 python2.1 z2.py -X -w NNNN zope 32544 32539 0 Feb09 00:01:41 python2.1 z2.py -X -w NNNN that is more than 2 processes for a single instance... This is on both RH7.3 and RH AS 2.1... I don't think these are threads, but I couldn't say for sure (and they have different pids). I don't know how tor turn threading off for ps/top. How can I tell if these are threads or "real" processes?
