Well ok. I have researched a bit more. All the speedup suggestions gave 
at maximum 5-10 seconds. Not nearly enough. (Didn't try to buy a new 
computer though. Will do that next week ;-)

I also tried to run Zope as a zeo client from a usb flash disk.

As expected the initial compilation to byte code was sloooow. I then 
expected it to run fast after that. It didn't!
*clever* configuration clearly wasn't clever enough for me.


So I made a site with a standard Zope tool:

     class simple_tool(UniqueObject, PropertyManager,
                            SimpleItem.SimpleItem, ActionProviderBase):


And I added a simple Plone skin.

Now refresh worked like a charm. Both when changing the code in the tool 
and the page templates in the skin.

So the problem only exists for me in Archetype based products. Anytime I 
do a change in any AT content type I need to restart the site.

Can anybody confirm this behavior?
