Yes Plone is slow but with caching you get very good performance. I
have boosted performance on plone sites from default 1-3req/s to
100req/s and then it was the bandwith that was the bottleneck. The
sites where serving both anonymous and authenticated content. I
recommend to check out the CacheFu product and documentation in the
collective.
