Your first question has to be: what is the performance of the apache server 
doing the proxying? If that is heavily loaded, particularly if TCP/IP 
connections are queueing on its port (80 presumably), then the services of 
the proxied zope server as well as the apache provided services will be slow.

I've got a Zope server in out intranet running on a machine with a private 
IP number. Parts of the zope database can be accessed from the outside via 
ProxyPass through our public Apache server. Internal users going direct to 
the zope server have to rate response. The performance connecting via the 
proxy versus going direct is very noticeably worse at times of heavy load 
on the proxying Apache machine.

In any event there is always some performance degradation because of the 
extra TCP/IP connection that has to be established from proxy machine to 
zope machine.
