[TriLUG] Python-Mailman question

[Sinner from the Prairy]

All,

I'm using PMP (Pyhton-Mailman-Postfix) on a Red Hat box. Postfix runs fast and 
great. Python is there, being used by Mailman... and Mailman is slow. It's 
objectively slow: it takes around 6 minutes to deliver a message to a mailing 
list... and when gets a que of messages for a mailing list, it uses up as 
much CPU as it can grab.

Is this normal?

Would I increase performance upgrading Python? I've noticed that Python is in 
the 2.x versions now. (how difficult could it be to upgrade Python on a Red 
Hat production server?)

Soft Specs:
postfix-1.1.7-2
python-1.5.2-43.73
mailman-2.0.13
ext3
Red Hat Linux 7.3

Hard Specs:
Pentium-III-550
1.3G RAM
FAST-20 WIDE SCSI disks



Salut,
Sinner
