The main problem is that *nothing* on zope.org is cacheable.  Therefore,
any intermittent slowdown between you & codeit is going to hurt.

Short term, we will soon have a mirror of zope.org, which should reduce
the possibility of slowdown. 

At some point in the future, there'll be more fine-grained caching
availiable, at which time all the pages that can be cached will be,
which should speed up Zope.org's percieved performance.

Zope fell over and died due to a database error.  We're beginning to
suspect that there may be hardware issues.  We'll keep this list (or
zope-web) posted on the details.
