Hi Wil, In regards the JVM version, the original version I saw was 1.6.0_17. I changed it to use the Adobe distribution version for CF 8.0.0, which got me 1.6.0_01 and that had a 3 second better performance than the original, on the original code that utilised <cffile>. Now on that same 1.6.0_01 JVM version, with calls to java.io.filewriter replacing those to cffile, I get run times of 8 seconds (10x faster). Finally, I change the JVM version back to 1.6.0_17 and I get a run time of 12 seconds. So I conclude that unexpectedly, the older version of JVM is faster doing file io than the newer version, and of course java.io.Filewriter is faster than <cffile> <go figure...!> Unfortunately I am unable to spend further time on this, but again, thanks for your involvement and contribution. I will post the cfc encapsulating the calls to java.io.filewriter under separate cover for those that want it. Nothing special but might save someone some time.
