[Zope] ZOPE Benchmark

[Ostermeyer@t-online.de]

BZ's ZOPE vrs Tomcat benchmarking reminds on another thing I'd noticed 
before, but didn't investigate any further:

At that time I was playing around a little with Servlets. I'd run an 
file upload servlet with Jigsaw's Servlet Engine. (Jigsaw is another 
HTTP-Server written in Java. It's available for free on the W3C's web site.) 
I used the com.oreilly.servlet package to implement the servlet. It 
turned out, that uploading a 3.5 MB binary file by the servlet took about 42 
seconds. Using ZOPE to upload the same file took about 17 seconds on 
the same machine.

This is of course far from a real benchmark. But the results are stable 
and seem to proof BZ's scores. I don't know if this shows ZOPE's 
superior implementation over other (Java) web servers. My opinion is, that it 
must have something to do with the performance of Java and Python byte 
code, right? Have anybody a comparison of that kind?
