First, make absolutely sure you are not running in debug or foreground mode. The performance hit is astonishing. Then, take a read through http://developer.plone.org/reference_manuals/active/deployment/ to get an orientation on memory use, load balancing and caching. Unless you've tuned some memor

David- There are many people more expert at Plone performance tuning than I, but it sounds like you need to configure your ZEO setup with more Zope instances, the better to handle simultaneous users. Also, you should probably setup some caching, to further reduce the load on your Zopes. IOW, you'

Hi All, Wish I could delete post from earlier today, this one is clearer and has a more informative title. Please refer to this post. Our plone 4.2.3 site seems fairly snappy with single user. With 25 students simultaneously accessing the site (as authenticated members), things bogged down to al

[Setup] Should my class be maxing out my 4.2.3 setup?

Hi All, Today for the first time I finally had my 9th graders use our classroom plone site to create content. As a single user, it seems fairly snappy, however when I had 10 students working simultaneously things were slow, taking up to 30-60 seconds to serve a page. When I had 25 students using

Hi, As there was confusion on this page which unified installation method to use: http://plone.org/documentation/manual/installing-plone/installation-quick-guide I update the page to recommend "non-root, standalone". Please enlight me if this is the best pratice of Plone community. - Fo
