Boom! That's exactly why I switched... right now I'm looking for a good
resource. ASP has activerserverpages.com, aspin.com etc.. cold fusion falls
short in that area. And cold fusion eats up 10x the memory that ASP did. I
haven't even really run any programs except the sample ones and the
cfserver.exe was using 30 megs of ram on nt2k. My inetinfo which is running
asp apps while we speak was only using 7 megs. :-( That really stinks.
Anyhow I'm looking for some resources and a good, free or inexpensive
shopping cart.. one like www.ihtmlmerchant.com .. something comparable to
that!
Thanks,
Jake
