So throughput isn't the problem. I don't think you've mentioned what the latency is like between your ZEO server and clients. What's the ping time look like? You mentioned pages that load lots of objects (200 objects each referring to a "handful" of sub-objects). If they're not in the client cache, each of those will require a separate fetch from the ZEO server. As an example, let's say your average object size is only 1k, but due to network latency it takes 5ms per fetch. Let's say your slow page loads 1000 objects, and 100 of them are not in the cache. That's only 100k of data, but you've spent 500ms waiting on the network. If this is indeed the problem, one symptom would be vastly better performance on "warm" pages when all the needed objects are in the client cache. Is this a Zope 2 app? Have you checked the control panel to see what the cache stats look like? -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com _______________________________________________ For more information about ZODB, see the ZODB Wiki: http://www.zope.org/Wikis/ZODB/ ZODB-Dev mailing list - ZODB-Dev@zope.org https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zodb-dev
