Yup, you're right. Well in that case on with the ensuing flame war. First the caveats; CFMX has not been tuned for performance yet according to MM.
With that aside, I have been working with Neo since the alpha days and have seen it change quite a bit since then. During that time I have learned that CFMX will have a performance threshold very close to that of JSP. For those of you who don't know, JSP doesn't actually perform that well. On a single server, a properly built CF 5 application would blow away a properly built JSP application. This is a fact that can be easily proved today. However, JSP is more scalable than CF 5. This is an important distinction depending on what type of load your application is planning on supporting. If you are a shared hosting provider, you will be able to support less web applications on the same server than with CF 5. If you maintain a small site that only uses a single server, you will need more server resources to provide the same level of performance you are used today with CF 5. With all that being said, if you currently run a web application that depends on more than one CF server, CFMX is going to be great. Using J2EE, you will be able to partition your application on top different servers to increase its scalability. With a properly built CFMX application you will be able to simply add more servers as needed. -Matt > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, April 29, 2002 7:44 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: CF MX > > Jump over to the Neo forums on the beta site - Libby English of > Macromedia : "You can now discuss all aspects of the new CF release..." > > --- > Billy Cravens > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Matt Liotta [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, April 29, 2002 9:39 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: CF MX > > That information is NDA at this point. > > -Matt > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Bill Wheatley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Monday, April 29, 2002 7:28 AM > > To: CF-Talk > > Subject: CF MX > > > > Now that i'm at a new job i need tow ork my bosses over to get them to > > upgrade from CF 4 (ugh) to cF MX. i need to find a page that shows the > > performance stats compared to older versions any ideas? > > > > > > Bill Wheatley > > Senior Database Developer > > Ediets.com > > Macromedia Certified Coldfusion Developer > > 954.360.9022 X159 > > > > ______________________________________________________________________ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
