And how big is this daemon (i.e. memory size)? The reason I ask is that:

Apache + PHP (2 daemons or more, unless just non-PHP pages) -- assuming I've 
understood correctly
Zope with built-in webserver (1 daemon or more)
Zope + Apache (2 daemons or more, always)

Zope vs. Apache +PHP appear to be running the same number of daemons. I'm not 
a webmaster, just a lowly sometime webpage designer, so correct me if my 
information is incorrect.

If daemon usage is the main concern, and someone was planning on using Zope 
with Apache, they should just use Apache instead since it would use 
one-daemon less part of the time. But Zope doesn't have to be used with 
Apache. Whoever is saddled with website development (Bill is, it sounds 
like?) ultimately has to decide what is *easiest* for him, as long as it's 
robust enough to handle the traffic.
