Let me add "for development purposes" to clarify.

Look, I am used to blazingly fast compilers - Object Pascal (Borland
Delphi) and Borland C++Builder with well-done pre-compiled headers. 

19 seconds delay, combined with the "manual" action of shutting down the
server + starting it up again - I perceive that as an eternity. 

What do I do in these 19 seconds?

You wouldn't want to accept a patch from someone who has clocked 20 hours
of Python and Zope combined <g>.

If I knew more about Zope and Python, you would have seen a patch by now.
But since I am pretty new to both of them, I am still trying to
reverse-engineer everything for at least some understanding of how things
work.

PS: Of course I don't develop on a production machine.
