Well, I just ran a very naive test and it suggests that zpt may be about twice as slow as dtml.
I made a DTML Method, and a ZPT, identical to each other, containing only HTML:
<html> Test </html>
Then I ran the ab benchmarking tool against each method, thus:
# ab -n 500 http://localhost:8005/zpt_test/dtml
The results are reproduced below, along with the profiling information (sorry if it wraps badly)

snip - snip. This is indeed very interesting. I also had an impression that ZPT was sometimes evaluating things that it did not need to in the presence of conditional tags. How does the timing compare with a Script Python and with an external method on your machine? (Yes, I understand they are very different from ZPT and dtml, but I think this might be useful information for a Zope architect. And this would give a common baseline.) Jim Penny
