macromedia.com runs on CFMX for J2EE Updater 3. examples.macromedia.com
(the ColdFusion Examples application) runs on CFMX Standalone (no
updaters).

That's only on the first hit - you can always precompile for production
(see various scripts published on lists and blogs and, now, a sample
script shipped with Updater 3). After that compile 'hit', pages are
served very fast.

macromedia.com supports about 15,000 concurrent sessions during peak
load - CFMX can handle it easily. We've also had almost zero downtime
since we launched the site on CFMX (the downtime we've had has been
almost entirely due to hardware failure!). We've performed also updates
to the site live, with zero downtime (because we have a cluster and we
run trusted cache - so we can push new files, compile them, and then
cycle each instance in turn so there are always active instances
serving content!). You can read about the software architecture behind
the applications on macromedia.com here:
