Most people, I think, would prefer to put an upper limit on the total MB of memory Zope uses instead. Are, what are the cons/pros?
The #1 con is that knowing the memory usage of an object on the host system is, afaik, nigh unto impossible in Python. The technique used by some of Zope's content cache systems is to pickle the object to be cached and use the size of the pickle as an indication of the relative amount of memory used. That technique is far from perfect though, and probably not suitable for the object cache of a zodb connection. -- Jamie Heilman http://audible.transient.net/~jamie/ "You came all this way, without saying squat, and now you're trying to tell me a '56 Chevy can beat a '47 Buick in a dead quarter mile?
