Let's talk about performance issues... Plone is VERY SLOW responding requests. All content is stored in ZODB objects and zcatalog is used to search. But even if you request the intranet home only, it takes about 10 seconds to load. The hardware is very good and lots of ram is used in the servers.
They also have zeo + 2 zope instances running in the same machine. I've never seen this in my life... only 3 machines running 2 zope instances + zeo instance, separately.
Do you think Zope(logic)+MySQL(content)+Apache(HTTP server) is better solution than Zope+Plone ???
No. That problem is Plone/CMF, and most of the problem is in the "skins". It's a combination of how portal_skins work, and the fact that Plones skins are not very optimized. CPS, who also uses portal_skins, are faster than an empty Plone site, for example, but still not as fast as a pure Zope-site can be. Zope 3 and Five both promises to solve that by it's "View" paradigm, but neither Plone nor CMF uses that fully yet, so if you use a lot of standard products that probably will not help you. I'm not a speed guru, but load balancing with ZEO would probably be the easiest way of improving the performance in this case. That's my guess. -- Lennart Regebro, Nuxeo http://www.nuxeo.com/ CPS Content Management http://www.cps-project.org/
