oops...my mistake for not listing out my configuration. basically i am testing out zope on a junk machine - PPro 233 with 32MB RAM only:) At the same time, i'm running mysql, apache+php combo, and each process only consumes abt 8-9% of the memory usage. That's why the 20% from Zope surprised me... regards, firestar ------Original Message------ From: Curtis Maloney <curtis@umd.com.au> To: Firestar <theebh@MAIL.COM> Sent: July 18, 2000 6:37:49 AM GMT Subject: Re: [Zope] Zope is memory intensive?

Hi, i have installed Zope on a RH6 box, and looking at the processes, Zope(running as 'python') consumes abt 20% of the memory usage! A single apache daemon only takes abt 9-10%. Is Zope supposed to be so memory intensive?

Well, it's all relative, isn't it? (o8 I mean, does Apache do the same work as Zope? Does it cache Python objects, is is maintaining database connections, etc etc etc. I am running Zope on a RH6.1 box, with 96M RAM. It's using about 12.5% of my memory, so far as I can tell. However, a % isn't much of a guage unless you tell us how much actual memory you have. Personally, I find that Netscape is more of a problem memory wise than Zope ever will be. (o8
