o With ZopeHTTPServer supplied as part of Zope anyway, should support for Apache be that high a priority?
Yes, it should. I doubt that ZopeHTTPServer.py will support SSL at the same level as a commercial Apache variant such as Stronghold. For commerce applications, the security aspect is important
o Does the average Zoper actually use the preconfigured Apache ... or does he/she use the installation to figure out how to configure an existing server.
Configure an existing server; I don't think I'll use ZopeHTTPServer except for the most trivial testing and experimentation.
o How can pcgi be used to best effect? Would an apache mod_pcgi be useful?
Probably, though I don't know how high the traffic would have to be before the time to execute the pcgi-wrapper becomes a significant drain. I suspect this isn't a high priority at the moment, because few people will do very high-traffic sites with Zope until they're familiar with the technology. That should make for some delay before a mod_pcgi is needed. -- A.M.

Emotional chaos is not pleasant; distillation of that chaos afterward may perhaps be pleasant in some of its aspects, and undoubtedly gives pleasure to others. -- Robertson Davies, _A Voice from the Attic_
