I have no idea what NuxWidgets is, but this is scary!

Oh, this is definately *very* scary!  I'm glad you were able to get it
under (relative) control, and that I'm not misreading our comparisons
between ZPT and DTML.

I did manage to make some progress on ZPT performance last week (about
a 10% improvement in the I18N version of the code), but there's
definately more work to be done.  I'll be looking at integrating some
of Shane's work next, but I don't know if I'll have any more time for
ZPT this week.
