There are a few things I see in your JVM settings. The one major item I see is your not setting a time interval for running garbage collections. This means the default time is being used and this is known to cause issues during higher traffic occasions. Your going to want to add these settings.
-Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=600000 -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=600000 As for your JVM version. There is no need that I know of att his point to revert back to the 1.5 series of JVM. Sun release their version 1.6.0_10 which solved the major issue (class loader bug) that forced people to revert to the older JVM version. We've moved all of our CF8 servers to 1.6.0_11 and found that version to be very stable. Our stats for last month just came in at 2.25 million CF page view per day (which averages out to 26 CF page views/second) and we had no JVM related issues. I wrote a series of article on JVM tuning nad choosing your JVM version at my blog. Those should help you out. http://www.trunkful.com/index.cfm/JVM-Tuning Wil Genovese Sr. Web Application Developer ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:318935 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
