Hello all, After reinstalling Zope I have only one active Python process. (The parent process is also running but uses no CPU time.) I think this must be negatively affecting performance. Zope 2.7.3-0 Python 2.3.4 (Final) In zope.conf under zserver-threads, I first did nothing, leaving the default. Then I tried different values: 3, 7 and 10 with no effect. Zope 2.7.3 (unreleased version) was running fine before, with four threads. I needed to reinstall Zope because I had lost and reinstalled Python 2.3.4. During this latest install, Zope identified my new Python as 'optimal'. Both zopectl and runzope correctly set CONFIG_FILE to my zope.conf. FWIW, debug-mode is off. What am I overlooking?
