We've been playing around with the CF admin settings quite a bit lately on our development server, and we have made some interesting observations. As many of you already know, 'report execution times' is an application killer in any heavily CFC based framework - we have had this setting turned off for some time. However, we have also noticed that when we run processes that take several minutes (10+ - we have a number of data mover processes which run for quite some time), the RAM usage seems to steadily increase when we have debugging enabled. When we disable debugging, you can see each iteration of our loop show up in memory (mem usage goes up about 2MB and drops back down 2MB every few seconds) but when debugging is disabled it never seems to free up the entire 2MB so the RAM usage steadily increases.
1) Anyone know what is causing this with relation to the debugging settings. We would love to be able to leave debugging on if possible, but obviously system performance is more important. 2) When Coldfusion finally hits the heap size limit for RAM usage, it pretty much gives up - I'm assuming this is because it is trying to run a Full Garbage Collection while we're stuffing more data into RAM, and it just never actually completes the GC process. Can anyone recommend a GC for this type of processing? Are there other settings that we could tweak so that when we do hit the memory threshold, we're not 'dead in the water' until we give CF a restart? Any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
