Just for a simple comparison could you compare python scripts doing the same 
thing to DTML and ZPT also. I have done some of my own tests and found that 
python scripts are usually 4-10x faster then DTML or ZPT especially when 
things get complex. I have recently started moving some stuff from DTML to 
python scripts for speed and it has worked well.
