DANG !!!

That means that under a heavily used Zope server, some requests (N-4)
are waiting for their turn to be executed?

It doesn't fork multiple processed on request as Apache for example?

is there any parameter where the number of publishing threads could be
increased? Because this could be an important loss of performances. I
saw that www.zope.org is powered by Zope. Have you experienced slow
access to the site sometimes?

Let's put it in another way! Would it be Zope able to support (on a good
and strong hardware) a Yahoo like server?
