Hi, I hope someone can enlighten me here. I run a Zope system with 6 threads at the moment. Does this mean that if I get 7 requests to the site, the 7th one has to wait until one of the 6 are through servicing the request? I noticed that when my site went live and got hammered by 50-70 students, that things were slowing down a lot. With our Apache server we have over 200 processes running, and I was wondering about the utility of upping the thread count to a higher (much higher?) number. As an example, can anyone tell me how many threads the main Zope site use?
