I could be flippant and say: use Railo - it has a much smaller memory footprint. Sorry, couldn't resist! :) > 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) I'd love to see this preso. JVM tuning is a real black art and there is always room for good presentations on this area of working with Java technology. When I was at Macromedia, we were constantly tweaking the JVM settings to improve the stability of macromedia.com. Every time we launched a new application, we had to go back through load testing and re-tuning the site because every change in the application composition could cause changes in the memory behavior of the site under load. > 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.

CF9 improved start up times dramatically (by deferring initialization of some subsystems until post-launch, I think - certainly the server is able to respond to requests much sooner after startup). > The question is: what can we safely remove? Much is going to depend on what CFML features your application uses. It sounds a rather dangerous approach to me. -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN Railo Technologies, Inc. -- http://getrailo.com/ An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
