* In essence, because of the ZODB architecture or my own ignorance of how to do it better, I'm getting performance of less than 10 queries per second. This is not acceptable.
Also, I am having performance worries. If the server chokes this fast with only a couple dozen items, I am concerned. This server is normally capable of dishing out many thousands of documents a second, and even figuring worst-case here, (24 * 30), it's getting only 720 (and those aren't even complete documents, just lookups). Can someone help ease my mind on this one?
I haven't used the calendar product yet but whenever speed issues like this crop up on the mysql list (eg "MS Access takes 0.1 secs, mysql takes > 2 minutes") it is invariably due to one thing alone : indexes (or lack of them). So, shooting in the dark here - check the indexes in your zcatalog instance. chas
