What you describe is true: Zope will not start sending the page until
it is finished calculating. If one bit of your page takes a long time
to calculate then the user will see *nothing* until that is complete.

However, I don't think this limitation is affecting you. You say the
page displays quickly when viewed over DSL - the connection bandwidth
doesnt affect how long the page takes to calculate! A modem user will
receive the first few bytes equally quickly - it just takes them
longer the receive the rest.
