How can that be?  If anything, Zope should run just slightly faster on 
Windows, since VC++ produces more optimized code than GCC 2.x, resulting 
in higher pystones.

Could it be that one of the optional C extensions isn't working on 
Windows?  (I have a Win NT CD and plenty of HD space but no desire to 
install it. ;-) )
