[Zope-dev] Zope server speed

[MANOTTI Alessandro]

> HI all,
> 
> I have a problem:
> 
> my company is looking for an application server. I know Zope (I presented
> it), and a friend of mine presented Macromedia ColdFusion.
> 
> We made some tests about the speed of the systems, arghh!!! Zope is VERY
> slow compared to ColdFusion!
> 
> Some examples:
> 
> I used Zope with DCOracle2 drivers to connect and extract 257000 (yes! it
> is a test... two hundred fiftyseven thousand records!) and Zope took more
> than 10 minutes, since I stopped it after that time (call SQL and print
> data via <dtml-var ... > TAG). 
> 
> The same PC, the same server, ColdFusion took about 2 minutes to complete
> the operation!!!
> 
> Coldfusion is more than 5 times faster than Zope!!!
> 
> PHASE 2: 
> 
> I said: ok, maybe Zope is slower that Coldfusion in TAG formatting... and
> I tried to get the records and perform a calculation, without no output...
> 
> Sigh! the results are the same!
> 
> I am depressed, since I talk about Zope very well in my company, but
> now...
> 
> Coldfusion and Zope are similar, so we shall select ColdFusion to develop
> web applications.
> 
> SIGH !!! 
> 
> Can I try something to increase Zope power?!
