A 2cpu, 1GB Ram machine, 20 users and Zope just doesn't scale. I don't think i want to start a flame war Chris.

Bottomline....it just doesn't scale. A simple 3 page test give me throughput so bad i can't speak of. Zope didn't scale...hence i tried Zeo/Zope....that didn't scale too(On the same machine).
Did you put a load balancer in front of them? Did your test program hit the load balancer or one of the zope servers directly? Did you bind each zope server to a different CPU?
Am trying Zope/Zeo across machines now and will let you know about the results. Apache+Zope is something i havent looked at yet.
Running zope behind a caching proxy, whether apache or squid, is the best practice way to get performance. <grumble> We've been telling you that since this thread started... </grumble> -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com
