Hi ya,

has anyone cure for Zope running increbli slow on WinXP and cygwin? It seems that every single request takes many seconds before anything is returned to the browser. On the same hardware Zope runs atleast 10 times faster while booted on linux and a little bit faster if I am running Zope's windows-binaries. What's about this: http://www.mingw.org/index.shtml

it is a minimal version of unix. It has also a gnu c compiler and it is easier to install than cygwin. I don't know if it has some restriction, but you could give it a try. I have already compiled a package with it (SWIG to be more specific) and it worked as expected. Perhaps you could try to compile zope on it and try to run it from its minimal shell. Ah, and short time ago, somebody on the list already mentioned psyco (http://psyco.sourceforge.net/) to speed up the excecution of python code. Perhaps you could also take a look at it. Here is how to integrate it to zope: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.zope.plone.user/6468/match=psyco According to that article, it seems to work; however, I will bet that it was tested on a linux system and not under cygwin. (The author neither specify the system nor the zope version). Regards, Josef
