I did some investigation and found the thread-management strategy
currently provided to be unsatisfactory.  I've posted a note to
the Twisted list.  I don't know if this can be fixed before the
next Zope 3.2 beta this weekend.

I think I'm going to look into adding an option to makezopeinstance
to select which server is used.  I haven't decided yet which one will
be the default.  I'm leaning toward making twisted the default to
try to increase the amount of testing it gets, but recommend that
people use ZServer for now in production sites.

Thoughts?
