I am praying that by then end of this all i end with atleast 60-70% perf of the commercial servers else my whole saga of scaling "Open Source/Free Software" won't go anywhere inhouse..:(.
Remember, scalability is not the same as performance. As Chris pointed out, Zope scales extrememly well. Better than pretty much anything else out there. The fact that it is a bit slower than other systems is not really an issue. We could go to town on optimizing it like crazy, or just chuck another server at it. The fact that you could buy another server for a ZEO client for the same cost as a few days of developer time means it is just not worth it. -Matt -- Matt Hamilton matth@netsight.co.uk Netsight Internet Solutions, Ltd.
