I like Plone too, but I think a lot of people are put off by the
complex top header menus and the left and right sidebars. We
discussed this back at the beginning of the Axiom Wiki project and
Martin Rubey (who was very active maintaining the content of initial
version of the Axiom Wiki site) was quite adement that *he* did not
like Plone.

When viewing Zwiki inside Plone, I usually feel a kind of clash of
style and a feeling that the limited real estate on my monitor is not
being used very efficiently.

Apparently you have not tried the setup with Zwiki inside Plone
using Standard skins. I think you would be surprized that the
difference in performance seems to be almost entirely due to the
skins.

Axiom-developer uses both an Apache frontend and external cache
provided by the host environment.
