[ZODB-Dev] A little help in configuring a better solution for ZEO deployment

Any reason for 7 threads?  Try 1 thread?  Is it a classical web application? Or
you creating threads in your application?

You can change the tmp location in Python by setting TMPDIR environment variable
for your process.

I would advise against persistent disk cache and increase the ZODB
cache-size. If you
are using latest ZODB you can use the cache-size-bytes which mostly
works.  You can
set it so zodb cache for each process will not exceed, say, 512MB.

If your ZEO server process is not bottlenecking -  it is your application.

> Does someone see any way to ease the load?

dont know your application but it is doubtful that ZODB is your bottleneck.
