I have come to two performance question on the Zope(may be). 1. Which is better, a faster processor or larger ram, to get quicker response? 2. Which is quicker, depending strictly on DTML or using an External Method, to pit out selected static contents from about 200 DTML document. uhhh, well, I heared that performance issue and benchmarking are dependent on so many circumstance and too complex a witchcraft that I can not understand. So what I want is a general rule for a dummy. I have come to the above questions, when I uploaded 277 static documents which is spitted by a DTML Document. That DTML Document compares the request with the id's of the 277 files and select some of them to spit out. Not so clever to write down an elegant DTML codes, I wrote down an External method and found that the External Method response quicker then my simple minded DTML codes(the E-method and the DTML documents are called by another DTML document). Still the quicker response is desired. My Zope is running behind Apache through pcgi on a linux box with 28MBytes RAM and 133 MHz Pentium(actually this box runs 3 instance of Zope + apache and usually a dummy(more dummer than me) is using Netscape).
