Hi all, I'm responsible for a big corporate intranet and corporate portal. They were using Zope/Plone before I got here and the problems are too many. Let's talk about performance issues... Plone is VERY SLOW responding requests. All content is stored in ZODB objects and zcatalog is used to search. But even if you request the intranet home only, it takes about 10 seconds to load. The hardware is very good and lots of ram is used in the servers. They also have zeo + 2 zope instances running in the same machine. I've never seen this in my life... only 3 machines running 2 zope instances + zeo instance, separately. Do you think Zope(logic)+MySQL(content)+Apache(HTTP server) is better solution than Zope+Plone ??? TIA -- Hugo Ramos - ramosh@gmail.com Senior Zope consultant
