Actually the strategy we are using with zope.org and Apache write now is
slower (PCGI) than what we're migrating to starting today (mod_fastcgi).

As for zope.org's sub-lightning speed, that's explained in a previous
email I sent today.  We've been too cheap to buy another machine, so one
PII-350 is servicing zope.org (plus digicool.com and six other sites)
PLUS the mailing lists PLUS mail delivery.

We should have moved the mail stuff off to another machine a long time
ago.  But we've been too cheap. :^)
