How suitable is Zope for very high hit rate sites? Can it achieve the same speed as applications written in C or C++ (using the same hardware, of course)? -- Milos Prudek

Alas, a red herring... application structure varies so wildly that making any "generic" comparisons is nearly impossible. I'll hazard that if you approach a Zope application in a "Zopish" way, and a "C" application in a "Cish" way, that the C application will be faster in performance, and substantially (orders of magnitude) harder to maintain. So you'll pay your price in man-power and lack of flexibility. Personally, I find hardware cheaper than people, both to find, and budget.

I don't know how much experience you have with Zope but if you are new to it, you should factor an extensive learning process into your use of it in your project. ------------------------------------------------------ Andres Corrada-Emmanuel Email: andres@corrada.com Owner http://www.corrada.com/mamey Mamey Phone: (413) 587-9595 ------------------------------------------------------
