Jesse, Yes, subsequent requests ARE faster than initial requests. But I have to say they are still painfully slow when compaired to CF 5. Slow enough to be a non-starter for some of our aps. In addition, if you plan on selling web services you already have a big latency problem that you are constantly battling. Anything time saved on the server greatly benefits the user experience - so this is a real issue for the "brave new world". .NET's CLR is blazingly fast at delivering web service content. CFMX must compete favorably with it to gain headway in the web services arena.
-mk P.S. - yeah yeah, I know "it's not optimized". But let's be honest, as a rule, JSP is pretty doggy. -----Original Message----- From: Jesse Noller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 29, 2002 10:39 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". The pages are no longer interpreted on the fly. This means your initial "First Hit" is going to take a few seconds, but every request after this is going to much faster. It's a complaint we've seen on the forums, Ie, "I just installed, why is the admin so slow" the answer is simple, the admin is compiling itself for the first time. If you hit the admin after the first time, you'll note it's much snappier. The "initial compile" bump is being examined and worked on, but it does not change the fact that the pages are being COMPILED, not interpreted as presvious versions. As for Matt's comment about JSP, this should not be the case in the end. I know I for one want CFMX to be as fast, and faster still, then CF5. This is our goal. > -----Original Message----- > From: Dave Watts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, April 29, 2002 11:39 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: CFMX performance (was RE: CF MX) > > > > So, in a small company like mine, where I have maybe 5 > > people using CF at once on an intranet application, (I > > also use CF from a shared host) there is no advantage > > to going to MX?
