Absolutely.  Apache is many times faster than Zope. (Don't know much about 
AOLserver, but anything with AOL..... :)

However, Apache can't do squat compared with Zope when it comes to dynamic 
content.

So, if you want to server static content, fast.... use apache.
If you want to server dynamic content, use Zope.

If you want to speed up your dynamic content, check the Zope HOWTOs, 
especially the ones detailing using Squit in HTTP Accelerator mode.
