CF can use more than one processor, but configuration can have a big effect on the results. You should also be aware that with Windows, the OS itself only uses a single processor, so in the case of web servers that do a lot of I/O, one processor is always going to do more work than another simply because all the I/O is on one CPU.
With CFMX for J2EE you can configure two instances of CFMX that can run clustered together on the same machine, which should make better use of your processors. -Matt On Thursday, July 31, 2003, at 04:54 PM, Avi Flax wrote: > Hi, sorry if this question is a repeat.
