[Zope] Large XML files

[Jim Hebert]

You could check into the ExtFile product (search on zope.org) and see if
that makes a perf difference.

That said, just about anything on that setup is going to be slow!!
Please excuse the os advocacy, but given that this is likely all you'd
dream of running on this server anyways (ie it's not like it's also going
to be your Exchange server), you might consider putting something that
will leave more spare RAM and cpu time for Zope on that box, e.g. Linux or
some other OS more suited towards the low end server hardware market.

Or buy a nicer box to run this on. If you don't have existing unix skills
in-house then throwing money at hardware might be less expensive than
investing in human resources to get a Linux box going. (Whew, being
even-handed is so much harder than being an OS bigot...;-)

Sorry that's probably not what you wanted to hear. =)
