If you are in the mood for experimenting, you might like to try
reducing the number of publisher threads. Each thread gets a separate
copy of the ZODB object cache, which accounts for a large chunk of
Zope's memory usage. You might find that this lets you use a larger
cache - with an overall gain in performance.
