Hi Steve, we seem to be experiencing speed issues on our quad core Sunfire T2000 box. Doing a lot of reading I've come across lots of mention of Python problems with the Global Interpreter Lock, especially when coupled with the way Solaris handles multi-threading : e.g. http://www.zope.org/Members/glpb/solaris
Despite setting up Zeo, with 4 clients (one per core), we are still finding Plone extremely slow. I've load balanced with Pound and then cached with Squid, and after caching, page speed isn't too bad (e.g. http://www.ibme.ox.ac.uk), but on a restart of Plone, it can take over 30 seconds before a page is displayed. Also connecting directly to port 8080 (for the first of our 4 clients) Plone seems to crawl. Hence I'm wondering if Linux is going to show an improvement.
