[Zope-ZEO] Advice

[Andy McKay]

That is becoming our impression of the multi-tasking problem, we are
planning to install the same Zope installation on Linux and see how it
performs.

We have a lot of small objects in our database. The size is actually fluxing
alot due to ZCatalog, it reached the 1.5 gig limit during an import, after
packing (successfully) it dropped down around the 0.5 gig range. For very
large amounts of data we are using SQL, but cataloging them in Zope.

Thanks.
