That is interesting. However, I wonder just what effect it will have in this case, because the long page is executing a SERIES of 6 long queries (it is producing a page of stats), and all CF activity stops until all six queries have been executed. If the blockfactor was going to release the CF server to work on something else for a while, you would also expect a change from one query to another, no?
I'll try it and let you know. ----------------------------- Stephen Richards 020 7903 3226 ------------------------------ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Brunt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, December 05, 2002 3:37 PM Subject: RE: Is Cold Fusion REALLY multi threaded? > Another thing to check, in Select queries are you using the Blockfactor = x > (x being a number between 1 and 100).
