> JSP: Slow > CFMX: Slow > PHP: Fast > ASP: Very Slow > ASP.NET: Slow Ummmmm, wow -- fast and slow at what? Development? Compilation? Execution? Performance under load? Math calculations? etc etc? CFMX, JSP compile to java byte code and get executed by a JVM. PHP, ASP compiles to pseudocode and is run by a C++ interpreter. ASP.NET is compiled to .NET bytecode (that's not the right term -- I'm not a .NET guy, but it's equivalent) and is run by the CLR What's that mean for performance? Nada. Your code is the issue. At least for the first 90% or so of performance -- then it comes down to server, OS, hardware, database, and application server tweaking. > But, that's only half the story.

Other technologies (cough > classic ASP, PHP cough) fall flat and die at such high volumes. I had no clue I could scale to 10,000 users on the same hardware with no performance degredation in CFMX (or JSP or ASP.NET for that matter). Of course there's a difference -- but it's nowhere near that easy or linear.

Is it good at matrix calculations? No. Is it good at running an ecommerce site? Yeah. It's on par with other web application servers as far as performance.
