I'm wondering; when this topic is raised very fast disk is usually
recommended. However, at first glance it seems that a machine with
sufficient memory is unlikely to touch the disk very much once all the
templates have been compiled and cached (assuming that you tell CF to trust
the template cache, which you'd want to do for best performance), and so I'm
not sure disk performance is all that important. Does anyone have
benchmarks or monitoring results that suggest that it is?
Note that I don't doubt the value of fast disk in a db or file server, just
in a CF server.

Subject: RE: Milking every last drop of CF performance...
Speaking from a purely performance oriented perspective I would consider one
of the two following designs for a CF-only box. I am assuming an Intel box
running Windows NT or 2000 Server.
Here are the things I think you would need regardless of final
configuration:
* Mobo that supports 133MHz bus/RAM
* Dual 800MHz+ Coppermine or Xeon processors
* 2GB 133MHz ECC RAM
* (2) Intel Pro 100+ Dual Port NIC's
* Redundant power supplies, >= 300W
* Redundant, and abundant cooling
* Good UPS
