Just from personal experience, badly written code scales badly, really tight
code scales well
Put that onto a decent server structure and you'll get decent scalability
If you insist on running CF4.0.1 on a Pentium I 120 with 64Mb RAM on NT
Server 4 SP4 and have SQL Server on the same machine, then it will chug to
hell and back... <g>
Any decent setup will have the data on a separate server, running a real
database solution (not SQL Server or Oracle, or at a push mySQL), each
server having enough memory (256Mb+ and 512Mb+ on the database server), with
a decent network connection...
We have 4 CF machines all talking to one SQL Server and even with fair
traffic (all sites totalling to around 30k+ hits per day per server) they
fly
