Hello, I am using the DocumentTemplate (dtml) portion of zope in a python program using cgi. The "import DocumentTemplate" step alone seems to take almost 1 (ONE) second on my hardware. This seems extremely high compared with the load time of python alone of about 0.3 seconds. To benchmark this, I made a simple test python script (time_test.py): #!/usr/bin/python import time t1 = time.time() ###import DocumentTemplate t2 = time.time() print "t1:%s t2:%s diff:%s" % (time.ctime(t1), time.ctime(t2), t2 - t1) Run as "time ./time_test" with the DocumentTemplate line commented out, the script takes an average of 0.330 seconds real time. If I uncomment the import statement, the script takes an average of 1.350 seconds real time and a 'diff time' of 0.9 seconds representing time spent importing DocumentTemplate. Now, I hope not to be laughed out of the list :-D, but my hardware is a Pentium 100 with 48 Meg of ram. I am running redhat 6.2 with python 1.5.2. My DocumentTemplate is extracted from Zope 2.2.2 and placed in my 'site-packages' directory. My questions: - Do people have any suggestions on how to make this process any quicker? - Are there any plans to speed up/optimize DocumentTemplate (I see there is already a cDocumentTemplate file, not sure what else can be done)? - I see there is a new version of Zope (2.2.5), does it have any major speed improvements in DocumentTemplate (the changelog and history files did not reflect this)? thanks, donfede
