[Zope] Zope on an IBM S/390

It's probably a lot of work, but it would be quite useful to gauge
performance on several ( ~ 10) ZEO clients each running in their own VM,
talking to a storage server running in its own VM.  It would require setting
up some sort of redirector or round-robin DNS to do the test with, and
perhaps some meaningful methods.  then of course, you'd need to run
something like Apache's "ab" against that set of methods, recording the
average response time for each run on different concurrency settings.

But that's probably more than you want to sign up for.  ;-)
