Zope's fast enough to withstand slashdotting (www.technocrat.net has
been slashdotted a couple of times). Zope's own site is quite heavily used
(there were statistics posted to the Zope mailing list) and is in Zope.
Boudewijn was comparing the management interface (over the network in a
browser) with a native GUI interface. Any web interface is slower than a
native GUI, of course.
