I just posted this back on David's Blog, but I'll post here as well, for ayone interested....
========== Hi David, Thanks for the information. Here's what we found in testing here at Adobe. OVERVIEW: In all load tests here, we see ColdFusion 8 outperform Railo everytime. Testing Scenarios: All tests were run with 100 Virtual users on Windows 2003 Sp2 Server with dual 3.60GHz CPU's and 2GB RAM. Because we do not support TomCat running on Beta virtualization software ( Apple Bootcamp ) the following tests were run on a fully supported server platform. The following tests mirror some of the tests that were posted on your blog. Test 1. Simple CFM page outputting a string. CF 8: Requests per Second: 800.94 Railo: Requests per Second: 721.22 Test 2: Simple MySQL query returning 241 records. CF 8: Requests per Second: 279.15 Railo: Requests per Second: 187.22 Test 3: Simple page with 5 cfincludes: CF 8: Requests per Second: 633.33 Railo: Requests per Second: 631.43 I'm not sure why in your testing you are seeing CF 8 take one second longer for queries to MySQL. Railo ships with an older MySQL driver ( MySQL Connector/J 3.0.1 ). CF 8 ships with MySQL Connector 5.0.5. In our testing, CF 8 and the newer driver were substantially faster when running queries.
