I assume you've removed extra products and you're running an "out of the 
box" Zope.

The first thing I would look at is the "debugging" control panel.  It 
will tell you if there are a lot of instances of specific Python 
classes.  If there are, it could be a Zope bug.  If there aren't, it's 
probably a Python (or C runtime or C compiler or kernel or hardware ;-) 
) bug.
