"Slow" is a relative term. Zope will always be slower than hard-coding
an application in Python.

For the kind of applications I have, I'm happy to throw a bit more
hardware at a server, if I get an improvement in reuse,
understandability or maintainability.

Maintenance accounts for much more than half the cost of most projects.
