Rich this is a question that has been aired in various forms many times. I can give you my experience having used CF seriously since version 1.54 and having worked for Allaire and MM as a field based Consultant (read Troubleshooter). My view is very much from a CF angle.

So my point of view is that CF Sites coded well in a workable scalable and understandable framework cannot be beaten from a web application standpoint and this is historical. When you add to that the possibilities before us with the MX Family, all the rest really do pale IMHO. Kind Regards - Mike Brunt Original Message ----------------------- Hello all: I'm new to this list but have always been a fan of CF's elegance and power for years. I am a manager in dev shop and the classic argument arises when CF comes up: can CF perform on par with jsp? Php? Asp? .net? Is there anything out there in terms of a comparative study of some sort that lays it all out? My guess is that it will be slower than Jsp since its in effect a layer on top of java (so is JSP I suppose, but I'm guessing its closer to Java than CF is, someone correct me if I'm wrong here). I'd be glad to present to case for future technology decisions where I'm at, but I don't feel like I have the ammunition. Anyone?
