I have build serveral Zope sites under Solaris (for my old employer).

All have been slow, much slower than expected, but have been reasonably
stable.

   *  Some lightly loaded sites sometimes stopped answering.
      The problem disappeared almost completely, when they were regularly
      checked.....

   *  For the main production site, Zope was much more stable than the
      Oracle backend database. Most outages was caused by Oracle problems
      calling for frequent Oracle restarts.
      After an Oracle restart, Zope needed to be restarted, too.

Threading was definitely working.
