Whilst I agree that running production and test apps on the same server is 
not a good idea, sometimes needs must, so my question is about how much 
extra overhead a second Zope instance will add. Site 1 and Site 2 will be 
served by the same server. The question is whether they can be served by 
different Zope instances without impacting markedly on performance.
