P.S. We are desperate to make the site run faster - we just don't know how. Our server has 512 MB RAM in it so ..
Tweaking the ZODB cache is all well and good, but I'm not sure it will make a dramatic improvement (but it might, you never know). Are you doing any sort of page caching in front of Zope, either using Squid or Apache/mod_proxy? This can make a huge difference in performance. And just setting up the caching servers are not enough, you also need to setup caching policies using HTTP Cache Managers. Even if you don't have a caching server, setting up RAM Caches for frequently called scripts and page templates containing canned queries (like latest news, lists of objects, etc) can be a big win. HTTP Cache Managers can be still be used on images, static files, and even semi-static pages to tell the browsers to cache them and refresh them only at controlled intervals.
