---------------

    First, it takes longer for information to be written to the Zope object
    database.  This does not slow down your ability to use Zope (because
    Zope does not block you during this write operation) but it does
    increase your chances of getting a *ConflictError*.  Conflict errors
    happen when two ZEO clients try to write to the same object at the same
    time.  One of the ZEO clients wins the conflict and continues on
    normally.  The other ZEO client looses the conflict and has to try
    again.
