Well, then you could probably set the ZServer to only use one thread.
That means you need many ZServers with a load balancer in front
instead.

I'm pretty sure the Zope2 implementation doesn't use zope.app.twisted.
However, the Zope 2 implementation is again not thread safe, and will
only work with one thread per server, so you don't actually gain
anything in using it. Besides, I don't think anyone actually used it
after I implemented it. Which is why it's still marked as
experimental, and would probably best be removed again.
