Always hard to tell, but maybe you do many writes to the ZODB? As long
as you only read Zope can be very fast, but writes to the ZODB will
take a long time.

Also, Plone (and any CMF technology in fact) has a serious performance
hit in the skins system. There are some improvements possible there,
like giving visitors a special skin that includes fewer skin folders
and such. Check on a plone list for more help there.
