[Zope] Python on Sun cf Linux/Intel

[Pavlos Christoforou]

Discussing pystone benchmarks ...

On our server Dual 450 PentiumIII, 512 Mb Ram, running ZServer (30,000
hits /per day) and apache (800,000 req/day) pystone gives:

Pystone(1.1) time for 10000 passes = 1.9
This machine benchmarks at 5263.16 pystones/second

Comparing with other machines I got the impression the pystones does not
do justice for dual processor machines.

Regards

Pavlos
