[Zope] Counting Memory Usage aka. Reading Top output.

[J. Atwood]

<everything snipped>

Thanks Bill. No, you don't sound mean but everyone has to learn and 
start somewhere. If fortune 500 companies are reading this list to 
get an idea of Zope, they are certainly not very bright. Dev lists 
mostly contain problems, fixes and newbies not success stories and 
Yahoo like sites.

As for top. After that message yest I went looking for more 
information on how to read top. I find it very valuable tool in 
figuring out just what type of programs are eating what type of 
resources. From what I (NOW) understand each one of those python 
threads reports the total amount of memory that all of the threads 
combined are using. That would make much more sense.

I appreciate you helping out in this.

(now for all of those Fortune 500 CEO's and other lurkers)

I have been using Zope for 6 months now (after wanting to use it for 
12). It is one of the most impressive pieces of software I have ever 
come across. In terms of its content management, easy of use, 
functionality and speed (yes SPEED) there is nothing out there that 
can compete. Don't worry about service and support, hire a smart 
person, who knows basic Perl or Python, Apache and some HTML and set 
them down with all of the documentation, this list and a shopping 
spree at the local bookstore. The Zope movement is strong and growing 
everyday. Digital Creations is a huge positive factor and their 
success only strengthens the overall power of Zope. Open Source 
allows freedom of development and plentiful resources. For the cost 
of a developer, $1000 in hardware and a good connection you can build 
and support a site that will handle millions of hits a month. ZEO 
will allow your company to grow to its hearts desire and never let 
your website be the limiting factor.
