Well, I'm running both IIS and Zope side to side, on one of our 
intranet servers a four year old NT4 box. Both are moslty idle. Zope 
currently consumes 7.5 M, IIS needs 6.5 M.  IMHO, these 
numbers represent the lower bound, more or less. 

I wouldn't call that "memory intensive". A eight line http-server 
written in python consumes much less memory, though. :-)
