Well, if you "ARE" anal about numbers try http://www.zope.org/Members/BwanaZulia/zope_benchmarks/benchmarks.html which has a lot of information. Zope is certainly not going to compare to any static webserver in terms of speed so I would not be upset when you see that it does not. It does, however, come out much faster than other things like Apache Tomcat. I have done a lot of testing so let me know if you have any specifics. J

I'm interested in getting performance statistics for Zope. I'm scouring the mailing lists for previous messages but I would also be interested in anything else people may want to say about it. For example, what is the record for average web hits from a Zope site? Does someone have a feel for useful ratios like: "a Zope page takes, on average, twice as a static page to serve"? I'm not interested in being anal about the numbers, seat of the pants estimates are what I'm looking for.
