No, my comments aren't based on stress testing or published literature. I wouldn't bother wasting valuable load-testing time with the JRun web server, since Macromedia recommends not using it in a production environment. Since they make that recommendation for both JRun and CFMX, I'd expect there to be little difference between them in that regard. Also, I can't imagine that the web server itself could be much different. In both cases, no matter how many application server instances are running, or no matter how many different, specialized VMs are used between them, there's only going to be one application listening on the appropriate socket, routing requests to one or more application servers. And as for those "unexpected differences", I suspect that for many people's environments and applications, there wouldn't be any difference at all. I seem to recall reading, for example, that one of the big advantages of CFMX for J2EE is its performance on multi-processor boxes. I suspect that other performance advantages of CFMX for J2EE come from writing more of your application code in Java and less in CFML.
