Comparisons of this type are always quite difficult to pull off. I know that
the applications I've created are rather Zope-specific. I designed them for
Zope and they take advantage of Zope's features. It would be really
difficult to try to do a reasonable comparison, because Zope has features
the other systems don't. Sure, I could make a servlet that acts kind of like
an app of mine, but how would I simulate retrieval of data from the ZODB and
acquisition and the like?

I'm sure that I'm paying a performance price for things like the ZODB and
acquisition... but I think that price is offset by the productivity
improvements that I get as a result.
