I was thinking of having two instances of Zope, one for test and one for production on the same server. How much overhead would a second instance use just by starting it rather than using it?
My experience is that it's allmost entirely a matter of having enough ram in your system. If your production server runs at a good enough speed, and you have enough ram, a test server will have virtually no impact. It will be like adding an extra user at your production site. (namely you) Well unless off course, if you do heavy benchmark or processor intensive usage on the test instance. Or write codes that makes it go spinning into a loop or stuff like that. regards Max M -- hilsen/regards Max M, Denmark http://www.mxm.dk/ IT's Mad Science
