Chris, the Zope 3 people actually spent a lot of time speeding up 
component architecture bits in Zope 3.3. People complain that its API 
got better, um, refactored, but it also got sped up quite a bit.

It appears TAL is slower in 2.10.0b2 vanilla, but a lot faster in 
2.10.b2 WSGI. That's pretty bizarre indeed. It might be WSGI somehow 
lifts performance issues elsewhere in the publisher stack, which then in 
this case more than compensate for what looks like a slight TAL slowdown.

Why then the static content is so much slower is again weird. It almost 
looks like there's a fixed speed for WSGI. Someone who knows more about 
how the WSGI support may be able to say more...
