[Zope] zope anywhere near aol server?

[Jason Byron]

Scenario:  Let's say you've got an application that
uses aol server and the razor extensions to it.  Most
of the code is done with TCL, some C.  The app is
fairly dynamic and is setup in a clustered environment
behind a cisco content switch.

Is there anyway to improve on, or match, the
performance of a system like this but substituting
Zope for aol server?

Has anyone done any performance comparisons of Zope to
aol server? 
Does Zope even come close?
Would Zeo have a better chance?

Do you think putting squid (or apache, or aol) in
front of Zope would bring it closer to this setup, or
would this be more of a hassle than it's worth in a
clustered environment?

What about mod_backhand?  Could this be used in anyway
to help improve zope's performance?

Has anyone thought of dropping medusa and trying to
integrate zope into a web server like aol/apache?

Whew, Is this a lot of questions or what?

I'd love to have some real world comparisons, but any
thought on the subject would be great.

thanks :)
