Wow.  You really are right on Plone's sluggishness/resource appetite.  The 
scipy site seems to be relatively static (even if you need a lot of bandwith 
for downloads, I can't imagine the dynamic load on the site being all that 
great).  That Plone can take, with that kind of load, a 3GHz/2GB box to its 
knees so often is certainly a bad sign...

Anyway, thanks for your help on this, quick as ever.

Best,
