[Zope] xmlrpc slowness

[Phil Harris]

There is another Python based XMLRPC library available on sourceforge, also
linked on xmlrpc.com.

This library is written in C and the author says that it is some magnitude
faster than xmlrpclib.

The catch?

It won't work with zope without some manipulation, cos the author hardcoded
the case on the HTTP headers, afaik this is not strictly kosher as the
headers can be any case (UPPER, lower or Mixed).

Might be worth a look though.
