Hi,
One of the last questions for now, I'd like to know the answer for is:
What is the performance of the webserver in Zope 2? I'd like to compare to Apache on Linux (our Zope will be running on one of these).
Some nebulous number that I can invent for your statistical pleasure. Quite honestly you've asked a question which has no answer. Zope2 is slower. But not if you compare CGI v. Zope. Zope2 is a 100% dynamic page generation situation, whereas Apache is only serving static pages. So if you're site is 100% static, use Apache, but as it gets more dynamic, I think you'll find Zope2 to be faster and faster. Performance on a "mid size" Linux box would be 35-50 hits/second (which translates to 3.8M hits/day).
Can the webserver be used in productionenvironment? How much load can it take compared to Apache before I need to upgrade hw? The same? Half? Double?
Do you understand the unanswerable nature of your question? The only benchmark that matters is your own application. Chris -- | Christopher Petrilli Python Powered Digital Creations, Inc. | petrilli@digicool.com http://www.digicool.com
