I just fired up Tomcat and tried getTickCount() on all 3 CFML engines within a second or two of each other. OpenBD: 276282Railo: 1244157288529cfusion: 1244157287685 Running date "+%s" on my linux box gives me 1244157286 so it looks like cfusion and Railo do indeed return milliseconds since the epoch. This may not have always been the case, hence the fuzzy documentation. -Ryan

Huh? I was under the impression it was number of milliseconds since the unix epoch (1-Jan-1970). Certainly that's what Railo is returning, and no resetting after restart there. I'm 99% certain that CF7 acts in the same way. The CF docs are a bit vague/contradictory on it though: Description - Returns the current value of an internal millisecond timer. Returns - A string representation of the system time, in milliseconds. Usage - The value of the counter has no meaning. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
