Wes,
I think I can help you run the logic :)
You've got a dual processor box.
So let's make some assumptions (Without even taking into effect
session/client vars.)
5-6 threads per processor. So let's assume 12 threads total for Cold Fusion.
(This is set in the CF Administrator.)
Now let's assume you get 500 hits per hour. At that rate 12 threads would be
more than enough. 500 / 60 = 8.34 which we compare to our number of threads
(12).
But that also is making the bad assumption that your pages take one minute
each to process ;) They'll take less than a second usually, 1.5 to 2 seconds
if your site is under heavy load, lots of queries, tons of nested ifs, your
variables aren't scoped, etc. So you should easily be able to process
something like:
12 threads per 2 seconds, 30 2 second increments per minute, 60 minutes per
hour = 12 * 30 * 60 = 21,600 cold fusion pages processed per hour. Even if
you had 2000 users hit your site in an hour they'd have to hit more than 10
pages each to put your server at a point where performance could be an
issue. :)
Turning on session/client vars should NOT affect the performance enough for
it to matter on your site.

Subject: CF load take
Hello
I have been watching the discussions about the
problems with cf loads/ram hardware. It is very
interesting. My cfserver has been doing outstanding and
hasn't missed a beat. However, I am fixing to implement
session and client tracking/authorization.
Currently my setup 2 dual 600 with 512mb ram. My
database (mssql) , cfserver (cf professional), and web
server reside on the same computer. I am expecting at
the most 10000 user sessions a day. With max 500 - 2000
users per hour.
We have a unix server currently taking the pounding
without cfserver, but we are slowly merging our web
sites to the cf server.
How will cf react with this kind of load using
session/client variables.
What is the suggested configuration or is this
configuration stable.
Is there any sites that can show me some performance
statistics.
Thanks
Wes
