Python 2.3.4 is the recommended, supported version of Python.

It looks as though your delay is in communicating with a ZEO server --
the speedup after first load would be explained by the presence of the
object in the ZEO client cache.

I run Zope 2.7.4 with ZEO (on the same machine) on FC1 without seeing
such issues, using a Python built for the purpose (I don't reuse
/usr/bin/python).  I don't see such issues there.
