This is surprising news to us, given the many
high-performance sites that run with Zope, which serve, in
some cases, peak at 200 times this traffic (multi-server 
clusters).

We bid on the original opportunity to build the GP site and
lost the bid. Therefore, we have no idea how it was
architected, and why it isn't performing.
