[Zope] - Speed difference (pcgi/ZHTML)?

We've never timed them, but I doubt that there is any
noticeable difference between the two in most cases.
The only time you'll notice any difference is the very
first request to the Zope process. ZopeHTTPServer will
respond immediately because it runs in the Zope process -
pcgi will take a few seconds to respond to the very first
request because it is external to the Zope process and 
doesnt crank up the Zope process until the first request 
for it is actually received.
