Ok.. so I opened up a can of worms. Thanks to everyone for setting me straight. I do think, though, that performance and benchmarking should be an issues on the tips of DC tongues. I have been doing a lot of benchmarking (and will publish results soon) trying to figure just where the bottlenecks are (DTML, references, SQL, size, caching). The good and bad news is that there seems to be no difference in many of the different tests. I can get a MAX of 40 requests per second, and that, is that. The reason I asked about JPython and performance was because I get a lot of developers telling me that Servlets are much faster. Now, that being said I am about to set up a website with servlets and pound on it till it bleeds to see if it is true. One of the comparisons that would be nice on Zope.org would be the servlets vrs Zope. (JServ, Enhydra, etc). Thanks, J

I know this is probably a hot topic and will be much debated but have you guys at DC looked into this? Are there reasons why this is a good idea? Bad idea? It seems like a natural way to increase the performance of Zope while keeping all the power of OO and Python.
*Increase* performance by rewriting in Java? You've been reading Sun's press releases again and, worse still, actually believing them; don't make that mistake! :)
I can think of any number of improvements that could be made to Zope, but a translation into another language, with no clear idea of what actual problem would be solved by the translation, isn't one of them.
