Persistent ZEO caches usually create more problems than they solve.  
There are deeply hidden bugs that can cause inconsistencies between  
the cache state and the real state. I'd never recommend anyone use them.

It will help in this specific situation. Mail will not block any Zope  
thread at that point.

That is a pretty sad hosting situations. Good luck finding something  
better.
