Last I heard, JPython runs at roughly 50% the speed of CPython, so I
don't see how such a switch could result in a performance increase.
Since Jim Fulton has written key Zope extensions in C, I'd suspect a
JPython Zope would be correspondingly more than 50% slower.

JPython is cool as a scripting language for Java, but wasn't, I
believe, ever intended as a standalone programming language for large
development projects.
