I noticed that our webserver would only have minor performance problems due to a large registry until the size of the registry hit some critical point (I think it was 25 megs or so? I forget the exact number...) Once the registry hit that size, CF would just hang or serve pages up at a crawl on startup and at somewhat regular intervals. I had to manually clean up the registry file on a weekly basis to prevent serious site slowdowns.
If you're on *nix, the registry file is here by default: /opt/coldfusion/registry/cf.registry I've sinced moved the registry to the database (*whew!*) HTH Jessica > About 12 months ago we cured our instance of CF5 of this problem but suddenly it's > back. > > About once a day CF gets very unresponsive for about 30min or so.
