IOW : Buying a dual processor computer is not so usefull if the computer
is dedicated running zope? And if you have to use a dual CPU computer,
binding all the threads to a single processor increases zope
performance? (If so, how can you do that? :)

That's true. I was wondering if you guys at zope comp. have any recent
benchmarks yourself with the different Operating systems?
