Two days ago we replaced a CF server with a newer, latest greatest, etc., etc. The new machine is running Windows 2000 Server and CF5 Professional. Most datasources are Access (I believe using MDAC 2.51 or later), a few using dbase (Merant driver) and a few using MS SQL Server 2000.
The old server (NT4, CF4.01, MDAC 1.5 or so) had 512MB of RAM and routinely passed 420MB in memory usage). We cycled the CF Application Server nightly and that freed up at least 100MB in memory each night. The new server has 2GB (that's 2 GIGAbytes) of RAM. RAM right now is insanely inexpenive, even more so when I built the machine several weeks ago. So, now what do I see in terms of memory usage? Somewhere betwee 250MB and 290MB, never higher. I don't see the slow, gradual increase in memory consumption that I used to see. Who knows what to credit - newer ODBC drivers, ColdFusion5, or Windows 2000 itself. Whatever the case, it's welcome. What I'd like, however, is a means of turning all that unused RAM into increased performance. I've already got the CF cache set to 128MBytes, which should be overkill for something like 10MBytes worth of source files for the all CF templates themselves. Any suggestions? BTW, we had our single busiest day today, peaking at over 229kBytes per second (in a five minute sample) of outbound traffic from this single CF server. It hardly broke a sweat.
