I cannot imagine an *intranet* site that gets 10 M-hits per day. If you really want that kind of traffic, look at AOL server, which uses the same fast asynchronous I/O model that medusa is built on. Also note that AOL Server is to TCL what Zope/Medusa is to Python: in both cases much of the work is done by a "slow" interpreted language. AOL claims that their servers (how many?) collectively handle 28,000 hits *per second*. I was impressed. Here is an idea: replace ZServer with AOLServer and see what Zope can do.
