MIchael, MM's advice is to set the min and max to the same value to save on garbage collection, but it DOES add to the time necessary to start (or restart) CF server.
>From http://www.macromedia.com/go/tn_18540 ----------------------------------------- The default maximum heap size is set to 512MB for ColdFusion MX Professional and Enterprise. For best performance, it's best to set your initial heap size and your maximum heap size to the same value. Finding the optimal size for the heap will definitely result in better performance. Setting the value too high can result in poorer performance from the higher degree of garbage collection and internal memory management required for the larger heap. ----------------------------------------- Even with the min heap size set at a gig or more I have to wonder why in the world it would take 5 or 10 seconds .... seems like a dependency issue - like it's waiting for some other server to timeout before it starts. Does it take that long to just 'Restart the service'? Is the service it running on a "domain" account (could be timing out trying to contact the AD server). -Mark ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:229903 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
