Python on multi-processor machines (Was Re: [Zope] Re: Windows vs. Linux)

[AM]

Related to the topic, I recieved a 2P Athlon MP machine running RH7.3. 
So how would I go about getting Zope to bind to one processor (if 
possible) or atleast get the performance on par with a normal 1P machine??

I dont really have a choice regarding the machine. I did read the 
article whose link is provided below, however not being an OS person 
didnt really understand half of it.

TIA
AM
