I have three machines running Zope 2.6.1 with Plone on OS X Server 10.2.6. System startup and Zope on my 500 Mhz Powerbook are slower than on my 500 Mhz desktop machine. My third desktop machine running Zope is a 1.25 GHZ DP, and startup time is approx 88 seconds. How does that compare with your 1 GHZ Powerbook and your Linux box? (Just out of curiousity.) X Serve should be better than any of these, especially on the bus speed and cache end. But I've no personal experience with Linux. Andreas Jung <andreas@andreas-jung.com> wrote:

It is "boring slow" compared to what? What machine models, software versions, and platforms are you comparing? Is this personal experience or heresay?

On my Powerbook (G4, 1GHz) Zope is extremly slow on startup (that's a FS issue. Also compared to standard Linux box (with 1.4 MHz or so) Zope on MacOSX is much slower in terms of requests/second or indexing.
