Our user base has grown significantly in the last few weeks. Unfortunately at hours of peak usage Zope crawls to a halt and won't even serve up pages.
we have NUMBER_OF_THREADS=4
would increasing this help? Actually when we I check the processes (with ps -fe | grep py) I only see two the root thread and the thread that runs as nobody?
Anybody have any suggests to help the performance of the site?

since youre using "ps -ef" youre probably not running linux which would list threads as separate processes -- other os'es do not. i would say 4 threads is rather little, but that depends on what machine you got, how much RAM, how big your ZODB is etc. we use 20 on a fairly loaded production machine. just experiment a little -- take some spare machine, copy your application/data, load it a little (for instance with the "ab" utility that comes with apache), and try to set the number to different values. ru peter. -- _________________________________________________ peter sabaini, mailto: sabaini@niil.at -------------------------------------------------
