At the OS view, would dual cores balance the Linux overhead on one CPU and python/zope on the other, based on resources required. In other words, would the second core allow python to go faster, not having to deal with the various OS and distro tools (apache, squid, pound, mailman, etc.) overhead items. Does the mechanism governing multiple cores separate/allocate processes by resources needed? ... and does a python/zope process get evaluated as a "heavyweight" process, maybe getting allocated the lion's share of a single core.
It seems that the whole world of multiple cores CPUs will be upon us very quickly now. The ZEO Server on one, ZEO Client on the other is a good answer. Just wondering if there are any other advantages of python being the way it is, in the mix.
Great discussion for me, thanks,
The general thumb rule is "one appserver process per CPU"; running the storage server on the same machine should't increase the CPU load significantly (the storage server is I/O bound, not CPU bound).
