Hello All - I'm pleased to inform you that the new Performance Brief for ColdFusion MX 6.1 is now available. It can be downloaded from the CF Data Sheets and White Papers page ( http://www.macromedia.com/software/coldfusion/whitepapers/index.html <http://www.macromedia.com/software/coldfusion/whitepapers/index.html> ) or directly from ( http://www.macromedia.com/software/coldfusion/whitepapers/pdf/6_1/cfmx61_performancebrief.pdf <http://www.macromedia.com/software/coldfusion/whitepapers/pdf/6_1/cfmx61_performancebrief.pdf> ). As you know, performance and stability improvements were one of the top priorities for this release of ColdFusion. This document clearly proves that that goal was accomplished. Some quick numbers: * Windows 2000: Approximately 23 times faster than ColdFusion 4.5, 3 times faster than ColdFusion 5, and 2.5 times faster than ColdFusion MX * Windows 2003: Approximately 3 times faster than ColdFusion 5 * Linux: Approximately 5 times faster than ColdFusion 5 * Solaris: Approximately 4 times faster than ColdFusion 5 * Dynamic email delivery capability increased as much as 50 times more than CF 5. The document also explains some of the engineering work that went into achieving these dramatic improvements. Nearly one hundred customer applications consisting of approximately 2.4 million lines of CFML code were used for analyzing CFML usage patterns and to look for bottlenecks in real-world customer settings. Where issues were revealed, the server runtime code was then tuned to eliminate them, resulting in dramatic cumulative effect. For even more details about the under-the-covers engineering work that made these gains possible, be sure to read Jim Schley's excellent DevNet article, Performance Under the Covers in ColdFusion MX 6.1 at http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/coldfusion/articles/performance_61.html <http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/coldfusion/articles/performance_61.html> If you're still running ColdFusion 4.5 or 5 (or ColdFusion MX 6.0), please check this out! The performance gains alone would be a compelling reason to move to CFMX 6.1 - but when you combine them with the new features they've been missing (CFC's, XML, Web Services, Flash Remoting), and the new features in 6.1 (like support for multiple server instances), it's easy to see why we've been calling this a must-have upgrade. Thanks!
