How big are your docs? Are you looping through data and doing an XMLparse? Is an XML parse fully necessary? Perhaps a Regex might fit better? Without seeing the underlying code or your desired end result, it's hard to tell.
AFAIK, ASP/COM solutions are crappy at text parsing, if there's one thing Java is good at - it's crawling through text. Also remember w/ CFMX you're no longer limited to just inherit functionality. I believe CF uses Crimson, if I'm not mistaken. Solid for most peoples needs, but there are others for the performance driven tweakers - try some other Java solution, make your own class. Ahh, the wonders of a java based app server. Here's a couple of interesting parsers that were recently featured on freeroller.net: Piccolo - http://piccolo.sourceforge.net/ Sparta - http://sparta-xml.sourceforge.net/ Erik Yowell [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.shortfusemedia.com -----Original Message----- From: Jay Jennings [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2003 4:42 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: XMLParse at 100% Is XMLParse() pegging the CPU at 100% (sometimes for a few seconds) something that's normal? If I switch to an ASP-based version of that will I see better performance? Right now the routine using XMLParse() is bringing the server to its knees a little too often. Most of the app has already been switched to .NET and this problem is helping to put the final nail in the CF coffin at my company. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
