Alas, a red herring... application structure varies so wildly that making
any "generic" comparisons is nearly impossible. I'll hazard that if you
approach a Zope application in a "Zopish" way, and a "C" application in a
"Cish" way, that the C application will be faster in performance, and
substantially (orders of magnitude) harder to maintain.  So you'll pay your
price in man-power and lack of flexibility.  Personally, I find hardware
cheaper than people, both to find, and budget.
