It looks like the pages you are serving are mostly big tables. Both Netscape and IE won't reder anything unless they got everything in the table.

I would try to time the 'wget' speed to verify if zope is slow or not.

Well, I kinda did that using telnet. I telneted into port 80 and then asked for an HTML page. I took about 3 secs (that's okay) for Zope to render the HTML page and then it bursted it out all at once. As I read from the other E-mails, Zope does not stream HTML to the HTTP Server till it is done laying out the site. That is the real problem. But the problem is still not solved. I am still 50% slower than other sites, even though Zope does not stream the data out. I played with the SQL Method cache; maybe I have to increase it more.
