[Zope] Minimal Zope Install - True Story

[J. Atwood]

I have been moving over some of my sites to Zope (fun fun fun) and so I
installed Zope 2.1.6 on my RH Linux 5.2 box. After doing so I noticed it was
pretty slow. Wait, no, VERY SLOW. I took at look at TOP and here is what I
found.

Running.
- Apache (15 virtual hosts)
- Qmail (15 domains)
- JServe (15 domains)
- PostGreSQL Server
- Zope
- Every other little Linux thing... (FTP, etc)

All of that seems fine... until I take a look at the memory..

Mem:   13608K av,  12824K used,    784K free,

WHAT? Yes, only 12MB of memory... The machine has lost all of its memory and
is just running on the system board memory. Oh yeah, and it is a 166 MHz
Pentium.

Ha... lets see Microsoft run NT 4, Exchange 5.5, IIS4 w/ SQL 7.0 an that!

Needless to say it shall be fixed this weekend but still it is a testament
to Linux, Apache and Zope can do.
