[Zope] Thread issue? Should I popen?

[Chris McDonough]

I'd suggest trying the method invocation from the Zope debugger (see
http://www.zope.org/Documentation/ZDG/TestingAndDebugging.stx for an
introduction to the debugger).  See if you can replicate the problem in
the debugger.  I don't really think this is an issue related to threads,
but it's obviously environment-related...

Hello all, I am having a external method problem. In Zope I added an
external method object which is a simple list sorting script. The script
sorts a list, loads a class instance which does a socket connection over
ssl and returns a response. Easy enough, but... when the ext method is
called from Zope it takes about a minute to return a response and the
CPU usage goes up to 100% the entire time. However, when I run the same
script from the python interpreter, it does its business and returns in
about a second. Running the list sorting ext method from Zope without
the extra class instance returns my list in .01 seconds. 
 
So, I am asuming it is a thread issue with Zope and my socket connection
class? Should I open another Python process to do the socket connection
using popen? Should I increase the thread count in Zope? (It didn't seem
to make much difference running at 8thds vs. 4thds BTW). Should I
attempt to run the class in its own thread?
