[Zope] Stability - can you give us some advice?

[J. Atwood]

I have about 8 Zope websites of varying sizes and complexities. Early 
on when I was developing in Zope I had it hang a few times but since 
then (and I have done a lot of stuff for the last six months) I have 
really never had it hang. Two of the sites use PostgreSQL (6.5.3 and 
7.0) and four of them are served off of one instance and an old 
Pentium 166.

It has been my experience that Zope itself (non-betas which you 
should never be using in a production environment) is very stable and 
only hang due to OS issues or really bad DTML coding (loops). If the 
problems continue I would suggest trying a different OS environment 
(I am a very very happy RH Linux person).
