 Well, for Apache there's PHP or mod_perl, which do offer sessions, authentication(via externally-written modules), database API, and quite fast too. Of course they do not have 
most of the 'unique' object-oriented features of Zope (as listed
on Zope website), and don't have the "manage-everything-thru-the-browser" feature (but projects like midgard may be catching up?)

Well, i do appreciate the 'extra' features that Zope provides, but speed is still a matter of concern here. Imagine showing my boss "what my website can do" and all those advanced features, but it crawls like a snail... 

Anyway, thanks for your reply. I will certainly pick up 'Zope':), but just wondering whether it will replace what i have been using, i.e. PHP.
