It shouldn't be this slow even with ZopeHTTPServer though. I've used
Zope on Windows 95 with 32 megs ram and with ZopeHTTPServer and it
wasn't slow. So do indeed use another webserver (such as ZServer which
comes with Zope 2). What you are encountering is a bug or problem, and
not Zope slowness, I think.
