Hi there, 

please, guys, let's get back to the ground and and be respectful towards
each other.

I get similar results as Michael, when doing the second...1000th request
with ab.

At least the XML parsing (with following calls to `minidom`) seems to be
triggered by `zope.i18n` when a locale is loaded (`getLocale()` and
`loadLocale()` on request of zope.publisher). This happend here only on
the first request. All subsequent calls (as Michaels output shows), do
not call TAL- or XML-stuff. Even when the server was restarted.

The XML stuff looks to me like some initialization code. Also the number
of function calls decreases to about 300 on subsequent calls (also shown
in Michaels result). Should I dig deeper?

A maybe interesting sidenote: when using a page template insted of
returning a string in the view, I get slightly faster results here.

Best regards,
