Well, if you "ARE" anal about numbers try

http://www.zope.org/Members/BwanaZulia/zope_benchmarks/benchmarks.html

which has a lot of information. Zope is certainly not going to compare 
to any static webserver in terms of speed so I would not be upset when 
you see that it does not. It does, however, come out much faster than 
other things like Apache Tomcat.

Problem:

I am using Zope 2.2 and jcNTUserFolder 0.0.7. I just installed a top
level NTUserFolder and now I cannot login as superuser (or any user
for that matter). First of all, how do I get back into my Zope
management pages and second, what is wrong with jcNTUserFOlder (or what
did I do wrong?)?

I am running Zope standalone. My root user is mapped to a valid
administrator of my local NT Domain.

Solution:

OK, so I got in by changing the ntuserfolder.py file in my installation:

   def authenticate(self, password, request):
        """ try to authenticate the user
        """
        # <HACK>
        return 1
        # </HACK>
        .
        .
        .

How can I use a personal Python object in Zope?
How can I display (in html page) the results from a Python function?

Error Message:

Zope Error

  Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource.

  Error Type: SuperCannotOwn
  Error Value: Objects cannot be owned by the superuser

Answer:

You cannot add, copy or move objects as the superuser, but you can add 
users to a user folder and change permissions.  But there should be no 
permissions that need changing.  Make sure that you give the user the 
'Manager' role when you add a new user (while logged in as superuser).
