I don't know, this seems a curious way to seek to solve the problem. Instead, it would seem more appropriate to focus on lowering the footprint created by your app(s). In most instances, CF seems to start up with at most a couple-to-a-few-hundred meg. The rest (between that and the approximate max on 32 bit of about 1200mb) is all influenced by your code, your config, the traffic, etc. It seems that addressing that would be more fruitful (and less risky, since something may fail someday and now you won't know if it's because you removed some needed jar).
And of course, if you are on CF9 (Standard or Enterprise) or CF8 Enterprise, you can go to 64 bit and remove that 1200meg max. Or if you're on CF Enterprise 6.1 or above, you can go to multiple instances, and may find that putting different apps/sites in different instances allows each to use a reasonable amount per instance (not nearing its limit, even on 32-bit.) I know it's not answering your question. I'm just offering it as a reminder of another way to attack your problem. /charlie > -----Original Message----- > From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:cfaus...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf > Of > Ricardo Russon > Sent: Tuesday, October 12, 2010 8:42 PM > To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com > Subject: [cfaussie] Reducing CF's Footprint. > > Has anyone done any work on reducing the footprint of CF? > > Our Admin, Carl, has been doing some work on CF memory management. > Mainly Garbage Collection. > (He will be presenting his findings at our next CFUG if anyone is interested) > > He has started playing with reducing CF's base memory usage by > removing unneeded jar files from CF/lib/ and seeing how that is > impacting things on startup.
