It sounds like you are accessing the Data.fs file via the Zope server 
(external method?). Have you tried accessing the Data.fs file directly (ie. 
make a copy of your Data.fs file and write a stand-alone python routine to 
pull the objects out and write them to the filesystem)?

Doesn't really answer your question, but it removes the Zope server from the 
equation.
