The jury is still out on that questions. Zope 2.0 appears to be definatly much faster than 1.x w/ ZServer, but substantive analysis has not been done with Andrew's new mod_pcgi apache module. I suspect that ZServer and Apache+mod_pcgi will similarly.
That's good news.
What ZServer buys you is the ability to do webdav (which Apache can also do, if you patch it) and especialy FTP and XML-RPC (protocols Apache can't, and never will speak).
XML-RPC works through mod_pcgi without any problems--it uses normal HTTP POST requests with 'content-type: text/xml' and a special XML structure in the body. This is an odd way of doing things, but it was chosen to pass through any HTTP interface unchanged. Cheers, Eric
