Hi Folks! We have developed a nice CMS ontop of Zope, that dynamically renders pages (with DTML and a python Product) out of special Components (e.g. text blocks and headlines). The only bad thing is: The Performance really sucks. I experienced that Zope is able to serve ~50 REQUESTs per Second on a small static page (where apache does 1500-2200), but under heavy DTML- and Python usage, Zope will only be able to serve ~ 0,5 - 5 pages per second (depending on how big the page is and how complicated its python logic). Well, i am aware of the fact that cache managers are able to dramatically improve performance, but in most cases, our content and pages are just too dynamic for the application to work w/ enabled cache (RAM or HTTP or ProxyPass). Does anyone know some hints how to get more performance out of zope? Any common Python / DTML routines that cost way too much time? Any experiances in improving Zope's speed? System is Zope-2.5.1 on FreeBSD-4-Stable and Python 2.1.3. Hardware: Tested on Xeon / 1,26GHz / 512MB RAM and Athlon / 850MHz / 256MB RAM Thanks in advance! regards, Klaus -- Goelz & Schwarz GmbH Waltherstrasse 29, 80337 Muenchen, Germany phone: + 49 - (0)89 / 54 46 70 - 0 fax: +49 - (0)89 / 54 46 70 - 10 e-mail: klaus.herrmann@goelz.com web: http://www.goelz.com
