first thing you really need to do is increase the "target size". right now you are telling zope to keep the number of cached objects at 400, even though you obviously have the machine power to handle much more than that. this leads to aggressive wiping of objects out of the cache, which have to be read in again, etc, slowing down everything. i would set that to maybe 5000 and then watch for a couple days how the "Total number of objects in all caches" number reacts. you want to be at a point where the two numbers are not too far apart, with the "target size" being higher so that zope will not be aggressive about wiping the cache. jens On Friday, Sep 20, 2002, at 07:44 US/Eastern, Gitte Wange wrote:

I will try and switch the stuff to Zope-2.6 and see if it makes any improvements. Our use of memory on our Zope instance homes are BIG ! I hope to bring it down ...

How many publisher threads do you have?
Do you mean how many threads the instances are started with ?? Our most slowest instance is started with 6 threads. It has been started with 8 but was still slow.
What are the number on the control panel/database/cache parameters page?
Total number of objects in the database 44617 Total number of objects in all caches 2574 Target Size: 400 Target max time between accesses: 60
Was this the info you wanted ?
