It's a great goal, but have a look at the other folks in the J2EE world who have been at it a long time. Again, on a single server, a properly built CF 5 application is going to out perform one built on top of JRun, WebSphere, iPlanet, or WebLogic. I doubt seriously that MM has some leg up on the rest of the J2EE vendors in terms of performance.
This is all a moot point really though. Unless you don't know how to code, every application server from CF 5 to J2EE is plenty fast enough. Scalability is simply not the issue it was back in the day, see my editorial over at Evolt.org, http://www.evolt.org/article/Scalability_s_New_Meaning/21/23896/index.ht ml. -Matt > -----Original Message----- > From: Jesse Noller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, April 29, 2002 8:39 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: CFMX performance (was RE: CF MX) > > Also think about the performance that you're seeing right now. > > On first run, a CFMX page "compiles".
