Mike,

I am not certian of the answer to your question because I have not done 
extensive benchmarking yet. I can say that it searches the text of the Bible 
very quickly, but beyond that I'm not certain.

I have not noticed visible changes in Zope's response, but as for raw numbers, 
I do not have any, sorry. Soon I will. I am still in the infancy of my 
project and am just now getting to a place where benchmarking would be even 
remotely useful.

Maybe someone else has an idea? I have heard of ZODB being multiple g's, but 
second hand, not first.
