[Zope] Conceptual problem with Zope 2.0.1 threads

[Tony McDonald]

Hi,
I hope someone can enlighten me here.
I run a Zope system with 6 threads at the moment. Does this mean that 
if I get 7 requests to the site, the 7th one has to wait until one of 
the 6 are through servicing the request?

I noticed that when my site went live and got hammered by 50-70 
students, that things were slowing down a lot.

With our Apache server we have over 200 processes running, and I was 
wondering about the utility of upping the thread count to a higher 
(much higher?) number.

As an example, can anyone tell me how many threads the main Zope site use?
