Yes, but first of all, those are all reads. Our example would be writing files, which requires exclusive access that part of the drive. Imagine your concentrated exclusive disk activity when multiple users are hitting that page at once. Not to mention cold fusion files are compiled down to Java, and these would have to be recompiled every time. And you probably can't use your trusted cache setting in CF Admin with an approach like this too. Also, your web server's reads and writes are closer to your operating system and they are buffered. CFFILE has to go through an extra layer, and from what I understand it is not buffered and you have to wait for the entire file operation. Now, the good side to that is the Java methods available now for file I/O are supposedly much better.

Every page has to be loaded from the disk, every cfinclude loads a file off a disk, every use of a custom tag, has to loa dthe tag file. Rather hard to avoid I/O Russ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:233092 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=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
