Little enough that it doesn't matter. If you're not doing any data caching in the components, then the're practically no way you could hope to have memory issues.
I don't know how to measure exactly, but you should be able to get a reasonable approximation by summing up the total size of all your instance variables. Obviously that doesn't include the storage of the code, but that is handled as part of CF's internal processing, so you a) can't control it, and b) it has to happen even if you don't cache the instance. Note that if you have complex data in your instance variables (structs, arrays, objects), you need to sum up the data enclosed within those as well. Just for reference, we probably keep about a hundred application objects in memory, not counting cached objects, and have no memory issues. If you count caching of data objects, that number is significantly larger (in the thousands), but i don't know exactly how large. We run what I'd consider a medium-large application (90,000 lines) on small-medium hardware resources (no individual app server has more than 1 GB of RAM). cheers, barneyb On Wed, 10 Nov 2004 11:33:22 -0800, Jonathan Bigelow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all! > > After Max I've decided to start playing around with caching some of my > more frequently used CFCs in memory for faster execution times.
