Zope will handle the concurrency with no problem.  The only problem you
may have is if lots of users write to the property at the same time.  Then
you might get a ConflictError.  See:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/zope-devel/DevGuide/Persistence.stx?rev=1.21&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

for more information on conflicts.  It won't be a problem as long as you
don't hammer the property with writes.
