There deltas appear to be as follows (ignoring the Speedpack / WSGI
results):

          Best Case (-c 5)                Worst Case (-c 100)
        2.8.8-2.9.4    2.9.4-2.10.0b2    2.8.8-2.9.4    2.9.4-2.10.0b2
 -----  -----------    --------------    -----------    --------------
 SWF       0.6 ms           0.5 ms           1.4 ms         -0.3 ms

 GIF       0.2 ms           0.5 ms           0.3 ms          0.6 ms

 ZPT       0.3 ms           1.1 ms           0.3 ms          1.2 ms


Note that the worst-case for the SWF file actually improved from 2.9.4
to 2.10.0b2 (the speedpack colors are a little confusing).  There does
appear to be a real bump in both ZPublisher owverhead
(OFS.Image.File.index_html has not changed appreciably across the
versions) and in ZPT rendering time.

We probably need to audit the changes made to the Zope2 version of ZPT
after the Zope3 version was forked, and find any optimizations which
were made only there.
