Yes, much less in the way of memory leaking. Just to give you a story:
Early in the Beta program as we were still hammering bugs and the
such, I setup my own little CF box to do as many "real world" tests as
possible. I created a simple app which polls a database, reads and parses
the logs from var/log (via cfexecute and cffile), and I ran it under a
steady load with the "Siege" tool (http://www.joedog.org/siege/index.html )
basically, i wanted to see if you, the user, was getting the bang for the
buck.
Sure enough. I've ran it under load for a total of 3 months, yes, i did
upgrade to latest releases, and yes, sometimes the server got bounced, but
that was because of the power issues we sometime faced (I believe it's known
as "User Intervention on the Power Front". I'm not about to claim that CF is
perfect, but to be honest with you, this release is amazing. Damon and I
spent many long hours debating about speed, memory issues, and "real world"
testing. (Not to mention Damon is a sucker for load tests).
Most of you know me, I'm the local Linux ... 'Fiend' at
Allaire/Macromedia, and in addition to backing damon up, I'll throw some
tools your way:
The load tool (so you can try for yourself, just don't run the load tool on
the same box as CF, the load tool is a ram beast and eats PIDs like mad)

I've stopped using MySQL on the command Line. As we all know, MySQL is just
annoying and clunky, but it works. Check out this:
http://www.dajoba.com/projects/mysqltool/
This is the best mysql interface I have ever seen. Period. Let me know
privatly if you need help setting up the CPAN modules. I've only ever
cvonfigured it on Red Hat, but it should work fine on others. Remember,
install this on Development or secured boxes only, and you need to allow CGI
execution out of the locked down directoy of cgi-bin (apache locks cgi
execution to cgi-bin by default). Running it under mod_perl is better.
Now, for actual coding, I use Jedit (And generally install every single
plugin there is for it):
http://www.jedit.org/
And last but not least, I leave you with the "Trick of the day". When
installing ColdFusion, it's possible to make a heavily customized version of
Cf by altering the CFINSTALL script, it's a basic shell script, rather easy
to use, and all you need to do is add functions. You can make custom builds,
along the lines of "yeah, I know debian ain't supported, but I want to
install on a bunch of debian machines anyway..."
Hmmm... Just had an idea, maybe it would be good to have a website
specializing in CF-Linux and all the sorts of neat stuff you can do. Just a
thought.

=) and i am hoping on that note you mean MUCH less memory leaking too right?
Is Cluster Cats for Linux now better with CF5? less memory leaks as well?
