I've posted some usage stats from a busy site that I run here: http://www.depressedpress.com/DepressedPress/Content/WebDesign/Stats/FN2 000/Index.cfm I'm not saying it's perfect. We're still running CF 4.5 and being hosted on a shared (and not that powerful) server, but it deals admirably well under load. 5.0 is much more capable than 4.5 when it comes to massive load and multi-threading. I've another article that details some tests in that regard (and someday I'll get around to do the same with MX): http://www.depressedpress.com/DepressedPress/Content/ColdFusion/Essays/4 5v5Threading/Index.cfm In short, my answer would be "yes, ColdFusion can easily handle such traffic". This, of course, assumes that the application isn't its own worst enemy (that it's written well and takes its load into account).
