Zope is a horrible resource hog, but it doesn't have to be.  I run
Zope on a p200 with 64M of memory and my application isn't slow at
all.  Its going to depend on what you need to do, and how you go about
doing it.  Plone probably isn't going to help things, from what I've
heard it makes stock-zope's resource usage seem light.  Anyway, your
best bet is probably throwing RAM at it, but I just thought I'd point
out that despite claims to the contrary, older hardware is still
completely capable of being useful, even if you use Zope.
