The time to open a ZODB FileStorage definitely scales with the size of
the data file, so using ZEO (ClientStorage) is definitely a win there.
But with a sizable Quixote app, the cost of importing the world -- even
using Neil's cimport -- is still high.  Quixote was designed from Day
One on the assumption that the code would stick in memory to handle more
requests -- Quixote didn't even work with CGI for a looong time, until I
sat down and figured out what was wrong.

CGI just sucks all around in so many ways.  I can't believe you used the
words "CGI" and "scale" in the same sentence without a negative.  ;-)
You should probably pester Neil to finish the CGI<->SCGI gateway -- that
sounds like a good compromise to me.
