I'm giving feedback on a colleague's paper containing the following line: "Cold Fusion is written in JAVA which means, generally, that a ColdFusion program will run slower than a program written directly in JAVA..... If speed of the application were the primary consideration, PHP or JAVA is the clear choice."
Now maybe I'm just used to hearing ColdFusion marketed as leveraging Java's speed; I suppose it makes sense that any extra layer is going to cost something in performance. A measurable difference, though? And since CF compiles to Java, and native Java would have to be compiled, isn't it possible that running CF is effectively identical to running Java? I can't find any proof of this assertion one way or the other. Does anyone know the answer?
