It talks about how to fix up apache in general to work better on a slow
system, and perhaps tweak Zope a bit, but it doesn't seem to address the
main problem itself - doing lots of requests on a unspeedy object makes
Zope fall over. While it would be nice for Squishdot to be faster, the
main problem is that Zope just stops doing ANYTHING once there has been a
connection overload. Even if I kill all the wgets, new connections just
sit there hanging forever.

I would blame Zope for the problem, but I lack the Python & Zope expertise
to solve it, sorry.
