[Zope] Zope slowdown publishing big tables

[Luton, Alex]

Hi,

I have recently written a few pages which either generate or contain
large html tables. I started to notice some fairly substantial slowdown
with tables over 100 or so rows. At a guess, I assume this is zope
rendering all the <tr> and <td> tags looking for dtml, but it seems a
bit slow even for that. We're running pretty substantial servers with
plenty of memory, etc.

I'd be interested in any good ways to improve the speed of these pages.
The obvious answer would be caching, but I'd rather avoid the
complications that entails if possible. I'm more interested in what
Zope's really doing to slow itself down here. TIA
