If you want to see how well Zope compares to Apache (realizing that Apache is serving static documents with no content management, security, etc) you can use the Unix tool, Apache Bench (ab).

It is usually located in /usr/sbin/ab on a Unix system (including MacOSX). The two main parameters you will want to give it is how many tests (-n) and how many concurrant hits per test (-c).

For a test of 100 tests with 25 concurrant hits, against the index page of a default Zope installation on your local machine the command would look like:

> ab -n 100 -c 25 http://localhost:8080/index_html
