I am using Zope for an large  project at the moment. For static content, 
such as images, I use apache to server them up (and will probably move
to something faster such as thttpd or kernel mode http server) and then just store
a URL reference to the actual data. This leaves zope to do presenatation, which it
does really  well and let a more suitable server handle the static content.
Any way, I'm not saying that zope couldn't handle this however depending on
 your exact use this may be an option for you.

Cheers,
