There would be performance issues indeed, and it would be come more pronounced with greater amounts of traffic to you website. Also if your database server and web server are on seperate machines, if you website received a high amount of traffic, your local network would slow from the extra traffic. beno wrote:
Hi; I want to call parts of the "pages" Zope serves from a MySQL database. My programmer tells me there would be a performance hit. I have a hard time understanding why (or if there is, I think it would be small). After all, Zope itself calls everything from a database (ZODB) and all of this activity would be server-side. There will be nothing complicated in the call: four simultaneous calls per page served. Is this problematic? TIA, beno
