Well, it's all relative, isn't it? (o8

I mean, does Apache do the same work as Zope?  Does it cache Python objects, 
is is maintaining database connections, etc etc etc.

I am running Zope on a RH6.1 box, with 96M RAM.  It's using about 12.5% of my 
memory, so far as I can tell.

However, a % isn't much of a guage unless you tell us how much actual memory 
you have.

Personally, I find that Netscape is more of a problem memory wise than Zope 
ever will be. (o8
