Are your comments based on any sort of stress testing results or published literature? I agree with what you're saying, but last time we made an assumption about the two products being the same (Re: CFMX Enterprise vs. CFMX for J2EE), MM chimed in and said there were some unexpected differences between the two products. So I suppose I was hoping that Sean or Phil or somebody else at MM could weigh in with the "official" response. However, that being said, I have been proceeding on the premise that what you said is how it is. > > For a relatively low-traffic, internally used site, does > > it matter if I go into the jrun.xml file and change the > > port fro 8100 to 80 and just go with that? > > Probably not.

Good call on authentication. I got so hung up on potential performance differences that I forgot about the obvious!
