No experience to speak of, but just having read the python tutorial, I see mention of its ability to write out .pyc files alongside the .py, and this compiled bytecode form yields faster startup times. If zope was installed for multi-users, the ownership probably does not allow for such files to be written, although this does not trouble python. So perhaps arranging for all .py files in the zope installation to be pre-compiled? - chris Stephan Göldi wrote:

Is anyone else running Zope on a Windows workstation (P3) and witnessing a good 30-s delay until Zope is up and running? BTW, I installed Zope on one of my brother's PCs (a P2), and it's close to a minute...
It is not of interest, if it is a P2 or a P3. How many MHz? How many RAM? I have Zope running on a P166 with 64MB RAM for demonstration only (sic!) It starts the server in about 30 - 45 seconds. On our product servers (www.zopehosting.ch) restarting Zope takes about 5 seconds (Redhat, not micros~1.oft).
We are speaking here of the starting of a server environment, not of micros~1.oft Word (which takes about the same time). So what is your problem?
