Sorry I don't have any insight...But I can tell you that you are not alone. We have a similar box (E-250, Dual Processor w/ 2GB of RAM running Solaris 8). My other machine I tested was a Dual PIII-800 w/ 256MB of Ram with Redhat 7.1. The RedHat box is signifcantly faster. Originally we were using FastCGI to communicate between Apache and Zope on the Solaris box. We are now using just Zserver which did make an improvement, but is no where near as fast as the Linux box. I would also be interested if anyone has any input on this subject. Thanks, Alex Kelly

I looking for anyone who has worked with zope on solaris 8. The problem I am having is that it runs super slow. I have compiled everything from source using cc to get the 64bit optimizations. Right now I have been benchmarking against just ZServer with no Apache between. No matter what I do I cannot seem to get the install up the speed it should be on Sun a E-250 with dual processors and 2 GB of ram. What's worse is that the same site that runs so slow on solaris flys on a Linux (redhat 7.1) box. The hardware is comparable (dual 700 mhz, 2 GB ram), but the benchmarks are about 2 times faster everytime. Any ideas why Linux is so much better than solaris?? thanks, ******************************************************** * Jason Witt Java and Web Services - ADCS * * Web Developer University of Minnesota, Mpls * * Systems Administrator 190 Shepherd Laboratories * * jdwitt@umn.edu Ph. 612-626-8663 * ******************************************************** _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
