[Zope] ZEO "Testing Connection" Delay is killing me!

[Brad Clements]

I'm using ZEO with Zope extensively on RH 9 Linux.

It seems that after initial startup, and perhaps anytime there's been an exception, the 
next http access causes the zeo client to retest it's connection, even though there's 
no reason to do so.

Can anyone explain

a) why retest?

b) why does it take so long? (30 seconds or more each time)

Thanks for any ideas. 

(not 30 second delay after testing, and it was already connected so why retest?)
