Cfimage has performance issues and tends to break down under load esp on shared servers. So even if you are not putting it under load, is anyone else? I don't think we have had any issues from customers using cfx_image Russ Michaels www.michaels.me.uk cfmldeveloper.com cflive.net cfsearch.com

I have also seen random issues with CFimage in 8 and 9, where it will not load an image due to image format. Things like the color map used for a jpg. Cfx_image seems to be able to handle most conversions more gracefully. Byron Mann Lead Engineer Architect HostMySite.com On May 19, 2014 11:42

Rather than having the site owner have to create thumbnails for each product, I was planning on having cfimage resize the images as needed. I am having a security issue that support is working on with me. The cfimage only needs to run once so performance is not a huge issue. Looking through

Application scope question...which is better?

The latter will almost certainly be faster, probably by a large margin. However, the former will be far simpler to set up and maintain. How about option C, create a full text index on your CLOB from option A, and use that? I know SQL Server and MySQL both support such indexes, I'd imagine
