[Zope] performance problem

Hallo,

Unfortunatly this doesn't solve the problem, ...thanks anyway.
After a view of a site which contains a URL + size of a pdf-doc(4MB), the memory
usage of the process grows up to 4 MB more. I think ZOPE loads all object
attributes (including data) to it's cache. So, if a searchengine spiders my site
everything goes into the cache.
I changed to store the docs in the LocalFS-Prod. to disable this caching behaviour
:-( . I know there where some threads about caching and performance in this
discussion-group but I cant find a solution for me.
Is there a way to disable caching for products/attributes/objects ? I think this
would be nice for some sites which have not too much  requests but a large amount
of data.

Hope you can understand my english,
thanks for any suggestions,
                                                    Torsten.
