[Zope] Zope and python -O

[Jerome ALET]

Hi,

I wondered why the default installation of Zope doesn't use the -O option
on the python command line in order to produce .pyo objects instead of
.pyc ones ?

aren't .pyo programs supposed to be "optimized" (and maybe run faster)
versus "non-optimized" .pyc ?

are .pyo really faster than .pyc ?
 
what are the drawbacks ?

please enlighten me.

thanks.

bye,
