I think my message needs clarification.  I was thinking more on the variable assignment level.  It would be nice to know how much memory each variable scope is absorbing. For instance:

<cfset server.test = "test">
<cfset application.test = "test">
<cfset session.test = "test">

As you create variables in these scopes, memory must manage it.  So I am wondering if there is a way to know how much memory is allocated to variable scopes.   If you could get as granular as each scope that would be great, if not, a collective summary of all scopes would do.  

I have asked this question before Pre-MX and the response I received from the list is that CF does not work close enough to the hardware to truly know this as it is a security breach.  CF is merely delivered a spot in which to reference where its variables sit, but has no other control over memory.  At the time, that made sense.  I was wondering if any changes have been made since MX has come along.  

This question comes from the idea that we would rather anticipate max memory issues prior to running an application in production.

Does that clear the air a little?

    Now that CFMX is using Java under the hood is it possible to get a little
  more insight toward how much memory a server is using?  It would be really
  nice to know how much memory is being used by ColdFusion.  Not sure if this
  is possible, any ideas?
