I suspect it works similarly to how it did in CF 5. I'd recommend that you have more memory than 512 Mb, if at all possible - 1 Gb is a nice starting point. Not only can you use this memory for the template cache, but for other things that will generally improve performance, such as caching queries and using memory variables where appropriate. As for when CF will need to read the class file from the disk, it should only happen once, assuming that all files are stored in the template cache after being run, which is the goal I'd shoot for. If the template cache is full, new files will push old ones out of the cache in a first-in, first-out manner; at least, that's how it worked with CF 5. You can monitor the performance counters for cache pops to see if your cache setting isn't high enough. > By the way: on behalf of all Brazilians and a number of > friends here, I'd like to express our solidarity to all > of you and your families for the the terrible circumstances > of 11 September.
