(Re)starting ZServer takes about 18 seconds on my development NT4 system
(192 MB, 540 Mhz overclocked Celeron). I somehow feel that this is an a
tad bit inappropriate time lag.

Is Linux (or any other platform) any better in this respect? Is there any
way to speed up this cycle?

Assume, for instance, that I need to hot-fix some problem in
WhatEver_Python_Product - in contrast to "just" reloading the product
shutting down the whole server is a tad bit too much, don't you think?

Is there any other way? :-)
