CT: Stumped was RE: [Zope] Asynchronous dtml?

Here is another example use for something like this. The Plumtree
Portal Server, to build the content of a mypage, will use multiple
threads to collect the content for the table cells of the mypage from
what they term gadget servers. It is important to collect this content
in parallel otherwise the time to build can be really bad especially
if multiple sources time out which can occur more often than one would
expect. If one were to build mypages for CMF for example and rely on
external content provision (say stock quotes, etc) for any of the
sources, one would need something like this.

(I have used Zope as a gadget server with Plumtree.)
