[Zope] zope on windows newbie

[seb bacon]

Can anyone fill me in on the merits of running Zope on win32?
(Without recourse to religious artillery ;)

I've taken over development of a Zope site which is running on
NT4+IIS+pcgi.  I've been given the go-ahead to migrate it to Linux, on
the basis that I develop much faster on that platform, and I can do
things like url rewriting, use familiar tools, etc.  But I'm
interested in the technical merits of moving platforms, if any.

I've never run Zope on win32 before, so I've never followed win32
threads.  However, I've picked up the impression that pcgi is one of
the worst ways of running a Zope.  Certainly the site seems to
experience occasional, random-seeming hangs.  I'm not looking for
'Linux sux at SMP' or stuff about buffer overflows in IIS, I'm
interested specifically in the pcgi and any other Zope-specfic
performance issues.

I've trawled the mailing lists but haven't gathered much evidence.
Has anyone any stories to tell?

Thanks,

seb
