I'd love so see Zope provide a facility for updating of products without restarting the server. It'd make python product development time a lot quicker and besides, restarting the server every time you rev a python product or two isn't really the sort of thing you want in a production system...
This might not help everyone, but I've been developing my products on a Zope running off a FreeBSD MFS (memory filesystem), with symbolic links to Data.fs and my product source which live on disk. Restarting feels slightly faster than from disk. I didn't time it, though.
I had a quick look at Linux's ramdisk HOWTO and all that, but didn't see how to do the same thing.
I did this a long time ago on Linux. IIRC, I got it down to a few seconds for a largish (~50MB) Data.fs. The entire Zope folder was on a ramdisk. Wasn't too difficult, but wasn't really worth it IMO. Should e in the archives somewhere, for ast year IIRC. Bill
