Except for the fact that it will seem dog slow, Zope runs fine on
Solaris.  The major issue seems to be that the threading model in the
Solaris libc is especially punitive for long-running, multi-threaded
Python applications.

I would recommend running multiple appserver processes, each with a
single "worker" thread, rather than trying to run a truly multi-threaded
appserver;  you will then need to load balance them (e.g., with Pound).
