Absolutely aware of that Michel (through bitter experience). I'm 
going over some of the SQL queries now to try and get a handle on 
things, but I'm pretty sure they're ok.

Glad to hear that it's a figure that seems ok. I'm going to move more 
of the static material (images etc) to the Apache server that's 
acting as the backend to the Zope system. That is, along with the 
measures that Martijn and Brian mentioned too...
