Performance and scalability is significantly enhanced in CFMX 6.1 and CFMX7 than CF5 or previous. This can translate into direct HW savings for large sites.
Details here for CF5 vs CFMX 6.1 (CFMX7 adds a few more points on top of CFMX 6.1): http://www.macromedia.com/software/coldfusion/whitepapers/pdf/6_1/cfmx61_performancebrief.pdf (Watch the wrap) Here's the "Statistics Summary" from the testing performed in the whitepaper: ⢠Windows 2000: Approximately 23 times faster than ColdFusion 4.5, 3 times faster than ColdFusion 5, and 2.5 times faster than ColdFusion MX ⢠Windows 2003: Approximately 3 times faster than ColdFusion 5 ⢠Linux: Approximately 5 times faster than ColdFusion 5 ⢠Solaris: Approximately 4 times faster than ColdFusion 5 HTH Damon >> Thanks.
