You can specify how many threads zope runs with when you start it, try looking at the start shell script and change it to be something like : reldir=`dirname $0` PYTHONHOME=`cd $reldir; pwd` export PYTHONHOME exec /usr/bin/python \ $PYTHONHOME/z2.py \ -p /usr/local/Zope2/Zope.cgi \ -t 64 The important one for you is the -t 64 which is the number of threads zope will run with. I'm sort of lucky in that I can run with 64 threads, but you probably want soemthing like -t 4 or even lower.
