What's needed is a way to *prevent* python from using more than one processor, so you can run one (or more) instances of Zope per processor and bind them to that processor. This depends on the OS. IIRC Solaris can do this, but Linux out-of-the-box cannot.
Linux actually does have a processor dispatch mask. To the best of my knowledge it is only used for interrupt handers that need to be CPU bound. Linux provides no facility to set this mask, although I have seen patches that will allow you to set it via /proc.
Redhat Advanced Server seems to have support for this...? http://www.redhat.com/software/advancedserver/technical/ -- /Magnus
