Re: [Zope-dev] Zope & Cygwin
Hope it's OK to continue crossposting this thread.

Grabbed the bindist earlier today. ;-) I wanted to torture test the Zope session manager under the cygwin-built Zope using ab, which is good real-world threading test. It appears that neither ab nor wget much like something about their communication with the cygwin-built Zope. Here's a wget session with a cygwin-built python/Zope combo:
One thing I haven't seen mentioned is that cygwin seems to impose a noticeable performance hit for an application running under it, compared to a "native" port. See for instance http://httpd.apache.org/docs/cygwin.html "Apache still performs best, and is most reliable, on Unix platforms. First benchmarks have shown that the same Apache setup on Cygwin performs about 30% slower than the corresponding native Windows version." cheers, oliver

Zope seems pretty slow under Cygwin. I can't really put a figure on it because of the problem I'm having using "ab" against it so far (and my lack of other structured testing). But for development I'm not too concerned about how fast it is.. it's fantastic. - C
I think the main reason for bad performance of any network related application under Cygwin is the network layer. My observation is that network is usually 10 to 25% of the normal throughput under Windows. I have also seen that Cgywin performs slower on Windows 2000 than on Windows ME.
