So that seems pretty clear: Zope is running your processor into the ground:(
CMF uses ZPT, even without plone. There is anecdotal evidence that ZPT may be up to 2 times slower than DTML, plus as has already been pointed out, older versions 'cook' all of the ZPT on startup.
More RAM should help your system cope better. When viewing pages there were up to 3 processes swapped out.
Otherwise, upgrade to the latest versions of Zope and CMF. The CMF cvs HEAD is very stable, though obviously no-one will offer you guarantees. On the other hand, ZC will be releasing a 1.3 version soon, which won't be very different from the HEAD as it is currently, so you could safely use it for development, then upgrade to the release version.
I think you're probably going to need some new kit, though :-(
OK, I re-installed. Zope-2.5.1b1, CMF (latest from CVS), Plone (0.9.9PR5) I first installed everything before starting zope. There is a gotcha. Both CMF and Plone contain a DCWorkflow product. Tried to run diffs on the directories but got loads of differences. I took the one from CMFPlone. Then I created a CMF site (as per the Plone installation). This took 119 seconds. Then I tried to install plone. Got this error: Error Type: TypeError Error Value: manage_addTypeInformation() takes at least 2 non-keyword arguments (1 given) Tried the DCWorkflow from CMF, and retried installing Plone with the External method 'install' But I could not get into the /manage screen any more. I saw two python threads running at 35% CPU, but after a while they went to 0% and that was it. Could not even get into the Zope main screen. Switched to the DCWorkflow of CMFPlone again. Restart Zope. Nothing. I'm locked out of the management screen. Ron Ron Arts
