We used Zope at my previous job in a very large-scale way.  We had two 
zope front-ends and a ZEO backend.  Our Zope instances (one per host, 
ZEO on its own box) would usually stabilize with about 30,000 items in 
the cache and about 255MB of RAM each (our ZCatalog had over 1 million 
objects in it, and most every page was catalog-driven).
