RE: [Zope] - Speed difference (pcgi/ZHTML)?
Is there a big speed difference between using Zope w/pcgi and ZopeHTTPServer?
We've never timed them, but I doubt that there is any noticeable difference between the two in most cases. The only time you'll notice any difference is the very first request to the Zope process. ZopeHTTPServer will respond immediately because it runs in the Zope process - pcgi will take a few seconds to respond to the very first request because it is external to the Zope process and doesnt crank up the Zope process until the first request for it is actually received.
