I was thinking of having two instances of Zope, one for test and one for production on the same server. How much overhead would a second instance use just by starting it rather than using it?
This depends largely on your hardware and how much load your Zopes must handle.
But in general it is not a good idea to have production and test server on the same machine. This applies to almost any software system (not only Zope).
Whilst I agree that running production and test apps on the same server is not a good idea, sometimes needs must, so my question is about how much extra overhead a second Zope instance will add. Site 1 and Site 2 will be served by the same server. The question is whether they can be served by different Zope instances without impacting markedly on performance.
