Hi All
 
We are experiencing a problem on our production server which is running
 
Cold Fusion MX 6.1 (Standard stand alone installation)
Apache 2.0.40
PostgreSQL 7.4.1
JDBC Driver 7.4 Build 1 ( JDBC3 )
 
The hardware is a beefy dell server not 100% sure on the specs but dual > 2GHz 
CPU, > 1Gb RAM plenty of disk space
 
The site generally runs really well and using Microsoft Application Center Test 
can test it handling 300+ requests per second.
 
The problem is that during these tests and at any time the site say at 40 
second intervals will take up 20 seconds to return a request. after this 20 
second interval the site takes off again to its maximum performance for about 
40 seconds and then cycles like that indefinitely. The request will always be 
returned though.
The interval of slowness changes when we decrease the number of hits but 
perplexing it actually gets shorter rather than longer.
 
Hitting a simple "hello world cfm page" exhibits the same results but hitting a 
html page doesn't. Remember this site is live during these tests so it is 
possible and highly likely that CF is still dealing with Postgres through other 
requests. 
 
On our dev box running the same software but only a dual Pentium II 400MHz with 
500Mb Ram the site constantly returns 200+ requests per minute with no real 
performance spikes to think of.
 
One thing to note is that during these performance dips on the production box 
one of the cpu's is used up at 100% by the CF Process and the other(s) aren't 
doing much at all and the RAM is has 100's Mb in reserve. 
 
CF Cache template setting is set at about 10 times more that the actual 
templates in the site.

Any ideas would help

Cheers

Shane
