I went back to check and found a few things: - someone (me) had put a RAM cache on index_html in the 2.5.2 install so I removed it - the 2.5.2 index_html method called standard header and footers so I added that to the 2.7b2 - I could not figure out how to up my ZODB cache in 2.7b2 so I lowered the 2.5.2 to 400 items - Made sure both were debugging off, running FTP, had 20 threads and had an interval check of 3000 (tried a few different ones, they didn't seem to make much difference) New results, best of three tries: Zope 2.5.2 for MacOSX 10.2.6 running on 1 Ghz G4 w/ 2GB of RAM Server Software: Zope/(Zope Server Hostname: 10.0.1.2 Server Port: 8080 Document Path: / Document Length: 3203 bytes Concurrency Level: 25 Time taken for tests: 9.557 seconds Complete requests: 500 Failed requests: 0 Broken pipe errors: 0 Total transferred: 1723868 bytes HTML transferred: 1607906 bytes Requests per second: 52.32 [#/sec] (mean) Time per request: 477.85 [ms] (mean) Time per request: 19.11 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests) Transfer rate: 180.38 [Kbytes/sec] received Zope 2.7b2 complied from source with Python 2.3 on MacOSX 10.2.6 running on 1 Ghz G4 w/ 2GB of RAM Server Software: Zope/(Zope Server Hostname: 10.0.1.2 Server Port: 8080 Document Path: / Document Length: 3141 bytes Concurrency Level: 25 Time taken for tests: 4.888 seconds Complete requests: 500 Failed requests: 0 Broken pipe errors: 0 Total transferred: 1670835 bytes HTML transferred: 1573641 bytes Requests per second: 102.29 [#/sec] (mean) Time per request: 244.40 [ms] (mean) Time per request: 9.78 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests) Transfer rate: 341.82 [Kbytes/sec] received Connnection Times (ms) min mean[+/-sd] median max Connect: 0 4 16.2 0 88 Processing: 91 234 46.7 228 421 Waiting: 7 233 47.4 228 421 Total: 91 237 39.4 228 421 Looks like I was smoking crack or something the first time, but I am sure that I was seeing the almost direct opposite. Just as an FYI, (because everyone likes to compare to apache, which is neither fair not relevant since it is usually against a static page) on the same machine, on Apache, I am getting around 500 RPS on a very static, 7K index.html. Still, with everything that Zope is doing to be 1/5 the speed is still damn impressive.

It was the index_html method which just has a call to the zope start. <dtml-var zope_quick_start>
Hmmmm, is zope_quick_star a DTML method in both places?
I'm wondering if it became a ZPT in 2.7b2 and that's what's causing the speed difference?
cheers,
