Hits per second is pretty low -- between 1 and 3 per server. The pages
are very dynamic, though, and response time varies from almost
instantaneous (1 second or less) up to 20, depending on the page and
the current load. Some of these delays are expected to get no faster
than 3-5 seconds turnaround, because of reliance on external data
sources -- but they start piling up when you're serving a couple
requests a second and the requests take a few seconds to complete.

I think I'm confident Webware would make a huge improvement, too. And
numbers will decidedly help. But who's got the biggest app (especially
most dynamic) who's using Webware? Is there any site I can point at
and say "these guys do something similar to what we're doing, and
they're having success!" I think there's a sense among some of our
folks that we got burned by trying to be "first" using Zope and ILU,
and they don't want to be first.

If you've got some good keywords, I'll download the whole archive and
search it with Mutt.

Again, it's more about how can I sell it to others, on a short
timetable. I can build a sample app, but I can't build a sample app
that will prove the case.
