Be aware that this can have crippling consequences ;-)

On of the things I really like about ZEO is that ZCatalog re-indexing 
can be done on the client. So, if that balloons and uses up loads of 
RAM/CPU, then you can do it on a box other than the one serving your 
website and the ZSS, which I've currently never seen have similar sorts 
of problems...

cheers,

Chris
