It isn't, but this was the problem: It took 15 seconds to open the database, so I thought that I shouldn't be recreating the database and should be refreshing it. There is nothing in the docs that says that the right behaviour is to recreate it. However, I then put some debug statements around it (I know, I know, I could have used profiling) to find out exactly what was taking 15 seconds. Turned out there was some rubbish in the db that shouldn't have been there. I got rid of it, and now it doesn't take 15 seconds to recreate the database. So- I am now recreating the db, and my problem is solved. > > BTW, a better place to ask about ZODB is the zodb-dev list: > > http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zodb-dev > > It's not just for developers /of/ ZODB.
