I played around with Plone a couple of years ago, and it was rather slow. It
seemed to have a very solid design and a lot of intelligence put into it,
but I couldn't use it in any productions because I just couldn't squeeze
enough juice out of it, and also, for some reason I needed to restart the
entire Zope process when I made even small changes to templates/skins.

Can anyone who's worked with Plone recently comment as to whether these
issues have been improved since then? I notice that Plone has been popping
up quite a bit lately, and they don't seem unreasonably slow to me. (CPUs
have of course exploded in speed in the past few years.)
