Hi, I'm running a Zope-application (2.5.1, Python 2.1.3) on a dual processor (1 GB mem) Redhat 7.3 machine. User-authentication is done by the exUserFolder-product (on Postgresql 7.2.1). An apache-server runs in front of the Zope server. Now for the problem/questions. Problem: unacceptable performance with 200 requests/sec. Questions: - which steps can be taken to improve performance ? for the moment 6 child processes are running which each use 60 MB of memory (?isn't this alot) ; increasing the number of threads will probably help, but if each thread will probably use 60 MB - how good is the smp-support of Zope (Python) ? Thx in advance, ronny. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Y! Web Hosting - Let the expert host your web site http://webhosting.yahoo.com/
