I agree with your assessment. It is extremely difficult to figure out which WSGI server fulfills Zope's criteria. In fact, I would suspect that only ZServer (Zope 2 and 3 version) does, because noone else has such strong requirements. I would love to see such a profiling tool too, not only for testing servers, but applications as well. But I am also involved in too many other projects.
