[ZODB-Dev] ZEO and time.sleep

[Laurence Rowe]

For Plone, the standard remedy to this problem is to separate out 
portal_catalog into it's own storage (zeo has support for serving 
multiple storages). You may then control the object cache size per 
storage, setting the one for the portal_catalog storage large enough to 
keep all it's objects in the cache. As navigation is driven from the 
catalog this can significantly help performance and reduce the number of 
zeo loads to only those objects required to traverse to the published 
object.

Other things that might help:

   * Reduce the number of zserver-threads from the default 4, object 
caches are per thread so this allows you to have fewer, larger caches.

   * Use FileSystemStorage for Archetypes, this can help if you serve 
many files. Files are stored in 64k pdata chunks, serving a large file 
can clear your cache. With newer versions of Plone you can use ZODB 3.8 
and blobs.

   * Put Varnish or some other proxy cache in front and cache agressively.

   * Buy more memory, memory is cheap.

Hope that helps,

Laurence
