Hi David, Here's some 'benchmarks' for you to compare against. I accessed images both as resources and content objects. Though there was some difference b/w them it wasn't by any order of magnitude.... I used a recent Zope3 version from svn.zope.org. From the results it looks like data bandwidth may be a factor to consider. Also my benchmark client is written in python using twisted and it also adds it's own (significant) overhead. I also ran some tests against Zope instances and ZEO (results not included), which didn't turn up any weird result. object=neptune.jpg size=3.39MB 1/ Accessed as resource, content is served from the file system..
