Not to slight this product (which is quite good), but it really
doesn't make sense to be serving static content data from Zope or
Apache, which are extremely heavy weight processes.  Things like
thttpd or kernel-httpd running on a high port are much lighter
weight, much more performant, and do af ar better job of serving
static content than their behemouth brethren.
