Well, honestly, that by itself doesn't really make much of a difference. It's not like the processing time is spent handing requests from IIS to CF and back, or that running in-process IIS applications is significantly faster than running out-of-process IIS applications (if I recall correctly, you can do both with ASP.NET). > remember, that cfml has to be compiled into java byte code, processed by > JRUN and then executed by the JRE, so more steps involved and JRUN certainly > uses far more system resources than ASP. That's not much different from what happens with ASP.NET pages. They start as text, and have to be compiled into bytecode (MSIL, I think it's called), then executed by the .NET runtime. And JRun using more system resources shouldn't make a performance difference. I think the biggest reason for this performance difference is that CF is quite a bit different from Java - loosely-typed vs strictly-typed, etc. Whereas, if you write C# code, you're already telling the compiler a lot more about what to do. > The advantage of CF was never its execution speed, but rather its RAD speed. Exactly. And when most web applications spend most of their time on database queries (which will likely be the same on various platforms) who really cares that you can run 10000 iterations of something you'd never actually do faster on platform A vs platform B?
