AOLServer was called something else before AOL bought it. It's basically
an httpd with tcl sitting on top of a nice API to such an extent that
pretty much anything you'd want to do with a web server can be scripted in
tcl. The neat thing is that it's been doing what mod_[your favourite
language]+apache does since 1994. Philip Greenspun of 'P&A's Guide to Web
Publishing' fame swear's by it. 

The question is - what were they doing in the benchmark? Zope, out of the
box, is doing things like transactioning, authenication/authorization,
acquisition for each hit, while AOLserver will only have that level of
functionality if it's coupled with the ArsDigita Community System, and a
suitable RDBMS (Oracle or maybe postgresql).

We're almost certainly talking about an apples and oranges comparison, but
I'd be interested in a look if someone has the URL.

John
