Other than telling you to try it for yourself and see, I can only say that this has been my experience. Obviously, the speed of the disk and other hardware, the specific filesystem being used, etc, will all affect this. In my experience, any CF server with over 10k of compiled classes is almost certainly going to be faster if you disable that option. I've seen some with many, many more files than that where the difference was obviously noticeable without any formal testing. The problem is that all the files are in a single directory, I think. If they were separated using a hierarchy of directories, seek time would be much faster (but presumably write time would be slower, since CF would have to figure out which directory to put them in, create the directory in its absence, etc. I'm not the only one who's observed this, apparently: http://www.bpurcell.org/blog/index.cfm?mode=entry&entry=1031 Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ Fig Leaf Software provides the highest caliber vendor-authorized instruction at our training centers in Washington DC, Atlanta, Chicago, Baltimore, Northern Virginia, or on-site at your location.
