[TriZPUG] Plone server very sluggish-update

[Nathan Rice]

When in doubt, profile it out.  Don't know how you would go about
profiling in plone; normally I'd just use cProfiler.
http://plone.org/documentation/kb/profiling-plone-and-tuning-add-on-product-performance
has some info which might or might not be outdated.

Once you have profiler output in gprof format, run it through
http://code.google.com/p/jrfonseca/wiki/Gprof2Dot and take a look at
call graphs for your server.  With that call graph you should be able
to nail down where the slowdown is occurring, and you can work on
fixing it rather than shooting in the dark.
