[Zope] Running ZEO on a single server -- advisable? Why?

[Andreas Jung]

One reason to run ZEO is to spread the load over several ZEO clients.
Using ZEO on the machine does not make sense in this case. It might make 
sense
for dual processor machines to utilize both CPUs. Using ZEO on a single-CPU
machine makes sense for debugging and development but not very much for
production.
