Unless it's considered proprietary, I'd be curious to know what the resident size of the Zope process for Zope.org is (or is that the one that was shooting up to 18MB?) This is just kind of a reference point, because I have seen the kind and quantity of things on that site.
Also, pardon my naivete on this one, but: RAM is relatively cheap these days. Even PCs can be considered relatively cheap these days. If, to cover the cost of having a 10-12MB process resident in memory, I had to pay a $100 startup fee or some such, I would probably do so. After paying that fee, though, I would expect to pay the same as any other hosting customer.
Feel free to let me know if I'm way off base :)
You are very correct. That's why are first Zope Virtual Hosting Machine will have between .5GB-1GB of memory to start with. But it only took me 5 minutes to get the process to swell up to 18MB. That means some industrious/mallicious user could conceivably swell theirs up to 100MB even the full GB and then nobody else would get to play. --------------------------------------------------- - Scott Robertson Phone: 714.972.2299 - - CodeIt Computing Fax: 714.972.2399 - - http://codeit.com - ---------------------------------------------------
