Java is faster than CF. C is faster than Java. Assembler is faster than C.
C is easier than Assembler. Java is easier than C (no flames please). CF is easier than Java. For a given application, you have to pick a point on those two axes that best suits your needs. If it's a pure web application, CF is probably a better choice than JSP/Servlets. If you're looking for a distributed enterprise application that happens to have a web-based front end, Java is a much better choice. CF might be good for the web interface, but if it means you have to hire two development teams (a Java one, and a CF one), then it might make more sense to stick with JSP/Servlets for the web interface and save you some headhunting. It's worth noting that Hal Helms (the author of the article) is big into ColdFusion. It's a fantastic tool for the job it does, but it's not a tool for every job. I know CFMX is faster than CF5, and RedSky is [supposedly] hugely faster than CFMX, so that "10x" is probably shrinking, but JSP is (and probably always will be) faster than CF. cheers, barneyb --- Barney Boisvert, Senior Development Engineer AudienceCentral [EMAIL PROTECTED] voice : 360.756.8080 x12 fax : 360.647.5351 www.audiencecentral.com > -----Original Message----- > From: Rich Z [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, July 09, 2003 2:17 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: JSP 10X faster than CFM? > > > FYI, here it is: > > http://www.halhelms.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=writings.displayOnScreen&wr > iting=TenReasonsCompaniesLikeJava.htm > > "Java is a high-performance language.
