I don't think anyone knows yet. I'd guess that the Java-based engine will
treat CFML scripts the same way it would treat JSP scripts; JSP scripts get
converted to servlets and "compiled" into bytecode when they're requested
the first time.

You need more memory. The only time I've seen this error is when severely
overtaxing a CF server, typically during a load test in a classroom
environment. This isn't specific to Win2K, either. In a production
environment, all other things being equal, I'd recommend an absolute minimum
of half a gig of memory, and would feel barely comfortable with a full gig.

Uh, that's quite a few files in one directory. In general, filesystems
become inefficient when you put a lot of files in a single directory. I'd
guess that NTFS would handle it better than FAT32, because of the way NTFS
indexes work, but you might want to try using subdirectories, even if it
would otherwise make sense to store all of the files in one place.

My advice to you is to work with what you have, without expecting the 5.0
release to solve all your problems. Remember, CF is designed to do one
thing, and one thing only - generate HTTP response data. If you want to do
something else, like run programs at arbitrary times, you can do it in CF,
but it's a kludge, and you might be better off using another tool for that
task.
