Thanks everyone involved for a really interesting read. It wasn't clear to me whether you folks had 'solved' the problem or not, though. It sounded to me like you had. Did I read the report too quickly, and miss something?
I think "ameliorated" rather than "solved". There remain question marks over Solaris performance (and database adapters - though I'm not sure if this is Solaris specific). The further recommendations include: * Audit the state of Solaris system patches on the various machines used in the study and, if warranted, apply the latest patches that may impact on threading performance. Re-run the tests to assess whether performance has been effected. * Experiment with building Python using Sun's C compiler. * Explore the performance of adapters for other databases. We were rather hoping that the Solaris-using subset of the Zope community might get stuck into the last two.
