Quite honestly, for a few thousand hits a week, you could code it in
QBasic and still have speed to spare.... I've had good & bad luck
scaling applications with both CF and ASP. Alot seems to depend on
how the server software was put together (IE was versions of various
things & how they were installed). The rest depends on how the code
is written. If you write good robust code, it really doesn't matter
whether you use ASP or ColdFusion. If you know one or the other, use
it.
Another deciding factor is cost -- if you don't already own CF
Server, then ASP will be your cheapest route.
I've got a million hit a month site running fine on ColdFusion
(4.0.1, NT4 SP6, dual P2-400, 384MB, SQL Server 7), and I've got a
couple thousand hit a month site running like crap on ColdFusion.
The million hit site was coded personally by me, and I know for
certain that ALL locking and other stability issues were handled
correctly. The other site was coded by hired trained-monkies, and it
needs to be rebooted once a day... I've got similar success &
failure stories on ASP. Basically, the quality of the coding is more
important than whether it's ASP or CF.
Now on the other hand, CF 4.5.1 KILLED both of the aforementioned CF
sites, so the CF version might have something to do with things....
Version 4.0.1 seems good for us. 4.5 & 4.5.1 completely choked. I
haven't had the guts to try 4.5.1 SP1 yet....
Hope that was helpful.
Best regards,
Zac Bedell
