Thanks Shane. Is all of your suggestions along with the setup I was considering? I have to research ZEO, cause I know nothing about it. Do you mind explaining the last two things just a slight more as I am unfamiliar. Such as how you figure out cache and what is packing? Andrew R.

Now, I am trying to setup my dbtab.conf to first test this before I try and integrate it into my current site, which has limited info now, but needs to be ready for major population in a week or two at most. Here is what I am guessing for config, maybe you can tell me if I am close and what more I need to do.
Some suggestions: - Use ZEO. It makes starting/stopping Zope much faster and isolates the application from the database. - Put /Plone/portal_catalog in its own database, allowing you to tune its cache size and pack it more frequently than the rest of the data. - Watch the activity graphs in the Control_Panel to determine proper cache sizes. Note that DBTab 1.2 fixes a bug related to this. Shane
