The ZEO server is a shockingly lightweight process, so there are no *performance* reasons to put it on its own box.
This isn't entirely true... on very high-load sites, a ZEO server process can consume a fair amount of resources... I've seen the ZEO server crank the load average on a Dell 2550 up to over 2. But we're talking *very* high load... on the order of ~ 400 requests/sec with a fair number of writes. For "normal" sites it certainly would make sense to run the ZEO process on the same box. - C
