Why do you think so?

I implemented a ZServer based NNTP server over ZPublisher
within a few days -- and did not have the feeling that
I need to stress ZPublisher.

Instead, I was pleased that I could use authentication, request logging,
request profiling, transaction handling, error handling -- all
features either in core ZPublisher or added by us.
