I have written a new protocol that plugs into the Zope application server. It's called OZE and I am about to release the source on sourceforge. Its an RPC-like protocol. But in a nutshell, I must do the security validation myself, because I bypass a few usual-Zope elements in the framework. I will gladly answer any other questions, but will this satisfy for now?

[Zope-dev] ZCatalog fast as admin, dog slow as anonymous and other users
Zopistas, My ZCatalog is fast as admin, but dog slow as anonymous and other users. Anyone had this same experience? Details: marjors: Zope 2.6.2 CMF 1.3 Plone 1.0.5 about 50,000 cataloged objects (dual xenon server, plenty of ram, RAID) User folder has 15k users in it, but admin is one of those users. i've factored it way down and a simple search with just 1 Event loaded, like: return context.portal_catalog(Type='Event') is instantaneous for the 'admin' user, but takes about 10 seconds to return 1 SINGLE object. (only 1 Event loaded) imagine the time it takes to search and display 1300 events (which is what's normally in there). ouch. i've rebuilt the indexes, and still no dice.

Tres, You are right. I've also got that permission turned off to take advantage of that part of the CMF workflow, which compounds the problem since it's site wide.
