Some time ago, there was a brief thread about zope on Sun. Does Python 1.5.2 run slower than might be hoped ?
Two examples - taken from real boxes running real jobs. The bigger box was running more/other tasks than the littler one but load average never got beyond 1.0. Note that the Lintel box was a midvintage PII350 (92mB ram !) server running a squid proxy - surely not twice as fast as a lightly loaded dual cpu sun ?. You should perhaps run the pystone benchmarks with time around it, and divide by the CPU percentage. This should correct at least partly for some existing load. (It doesn't solve the problem that with heavier load the caches tend to be more often cold, etc.)
