Mid 400s right now as trimmed as we can get.

We have a few thousand servers and devices. Rooms and rooms full of various SAN 
devices. A few hundred routers, switches, waps. Easily 500 VIPs and a couple 
hundred APC PDUs. 13 locations all over the world with various devices/offices 
for each.

Looking at a purchase so we've trimmed our needs to only things we actually 
care to monitor. Comes out to around 400.

And for us even on a 32gb ram Quad CPU Quad-Core box(R900) with these devices 
the system just crawls. I cant understand how these other people are saying 
their UI is snappy. We've gone to great lengths to speed ours up but it still 
craps out after ~4 concurrent users.

I got bored one afternoon and pointed our loadtesting cluster at it for kicks. 
That monster of a box mentioned above couldnt sustain more than 15 concurrent 
users before page load times went above 30 seconds a pop doing basic navigation.

I love the entire idea Zenoss brings to the table. The classifying, templates, 
inheritance...... its all beautiful except the actual implementation leaves 
much to be desired. The first group to use these ideas and a solid code base 
would make some cash.

Zenoss is still maturing but I really dont think Zope2 is the way to go. Too 
much magic without documentation going on for my tastes. Keeping the ZODB 
database from getting corrupt also seems almost impossible. Is there an actual 
transactional locking database for storing objects? These conflict errors when 
doing 2 things at once really drive me crazy.

Rants aside I'm still rooting for some speed upgrades in the future :)
