Are you running Solaris?
If so, the bad news is you're likely running Zope as a single threaded
process.

The good news is that Big Python Brains[tm] are on it, and the fix is likely
to be in python 2.1.2. This will mean roughly a four fold increase in Zope
throughput.

Course, if you're *not* running Solaris, then Chris' advice re:
requestprofiler.py on a big M file is a really good start.
