One other quick question. With 75,000 page views per day, set up the way we are now, (one box/multiple zopes) how many connections should we be allowing? I think the default it 4 and we have opened it up to 8. Sound right?
Do you mean publisher threads, controlled with the Zope.py -T switch? Increasing the number is right if you have some methods that are not CPU-bound; maybe they load state from a db on another machine, or they need perform alot of disk for each request. If your methods are CPU-bound then increasing the number above the default 4 will not help. Also, each publisher thread gets its own copy of the objects cache. If your site is memory-intensive then increasing the number of threads can be conterproductive. Reducing the number of threads and increasing the size of each thread's cache may be better.
