This sounds exactly like the problem we ran into with one of our apps that is under very high load. Template cache settings and JVM settings do not make a noticeable difference one way or another in this case. I worked closely with Adobe support on this issue (bug 70837). Via some very simple code I wrote to reproduce the problem, Adobe found a bug in JVM 1.6 that basically hoses the template cache / classloading.
Because JVMs 1.4 and 1.5 (and even a beta of 1.7 I tried) do not have the same problem as 1.6, Adobe saw these as feasible workarounds and thus marked this issue as a low-priority bug. We started using 1.5, and the problems went away immediately. I recommend anyone else with performance problems do the same. If another JVM is not an option, perhaps we can contact Adobe again and get them to push out a hotfix. <quote> However, if you are unable to continue in your production environment with the workarounds that you have found and would like a hotfix for this specific issue, let me know and I will inform the engineers to set a higher priority for this bug. </quote> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:301741 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
