All pretty true of course, but I think I did read about some tests of running Zope with psyco. Zope uses a pretty massive amount of Python code on each access, so there's probably a lot to optimize. Unfortunately I don't remember what the results were. But I'd recommend search the zope-user mailing list archives or just google for "psyco site:zope.org" Terry -- Terry Hancock ( hancock at anansispaceworks.com ) Anansi Spaceworks http://www.anansispaceworks.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
