I did some timing of a 1.5MB PDF file to two installs of Zope, one on a local desktop and one on a remote site over a network.
Situation A: Zope 2.5.1/Windows on Windows 2000, locally Browsers: Mozilla & IE6 on Windows
Situation B:
Zope 2.5.1/Solaris on a remote Solaris 2.6 box over a 10Mbit connection Browsers: Mozilla & IE6 on Windows
If I FTP to the zope server on port 8021, I can put the 1.5MB file in Zope very quickly. Situation A: 0.8 seconds (approx) Situation B: 1.5 seconds
But if I use the "Add" button from the management interface, using either Mozilla or IE6, it takes the following times: Situation A: 35 seconds Situation B: 2 minutes 30 seconds. Are you sure, you use "enctype=multipart/formdata" to your action?
FTP can be slightly more efficient than HTTP. But this order of magnitude is astonishing. I would probably activate profiling (--> "Control_Panel->Debug information -> Profiling) and see where the time is spent. Dieter
