(Re)starting ZServer takes about 18 seconds on my development NT4 system (192 MB, 540 Mhz overclocked Celeron). I somehow feel that this is an a tad bit inappropriate time lag.
Why?
Let me add "for development purposes" to clarify.
Look, I am used to blazingly fast compilers - Object Pascal (Borland Delphi) and Borland C++Builder with well-done pre-compiled headers.
Yeah, but try deploying that newly-compiled application to thousands of users all over the world in nineteen seconds. Server side tools have different design forces, and therfore different tradeoffs.
19 seconds delay, combined with the "manual" action of shutting down the server + starting it up again - I perceive that as an eternity.
What do I do in these 19 seconds?
You catch up on Zope mail -- what else? :) FWIW, it takes my (almost empty) ZServer about 3.5 seconds to restart on Linux. You might try packing the database, perhaps? -- ========================================================= Tres Seaver tseaver@palladion.com 713-523-6582 Palladion Software http://www.palladion.com
