The golden rule is one ZEO client per CPU. The number of threads and cache size also depends on your application. It's a question of fine tuning. You must make your own experience to find the right path between #thread and cache size. -aj --On Dienstag, 22. Juni 2004 12:21 Uhr -0400 Gerry Kirk <gerry@faithonline.com> wrote:

Hi,

I've got questions around # threads and cache sizes to use with Zope / Plone 2. My server box is:

Dell Poweredge server Intel XEON processors @ 2.4Ghz 4x73GB SCSI drives in a RAID 5 array 1GB RAM single CPU

I've heard from some people that it can be advantageous to run more than one ZEO client per CPU, if the machine is fast enough. I've also heard from some people that fewer threads with larger caches can be faster and other people saying that performance with less than 4 threads can be sluggish.

Anyone willing to comment further on there own experiences?

Thanks, Gerry
