the PDC and zopeserver are on the same switch.

I had to do a little hacking to get the NT Groups to act as local security roles in Zope, and while doing that, I noticd that the getRoles() method in AccessControl/Users.py is used for every object on a page. Combined with a fairly slow lookup to begin with, and complex pages are VERY slow.

There must be a good reason for this, but I would have thought the users' role info would have been cached at a higher level somehow...

I did get things going last night, to a point where my NT Groups are
acting as Local Roles, and I can authenticate to my PDC, but it is
really, really slow.


how far away (hops) is the PDC? is there a BDC closer?

Time to do some analysis really. Sounds like you needs some caching at

crucial

points... What userfolder are you using?
