I've been fooling around quite a bit w/Verity in CFMX 7 Standard as of late. It's really slow when you have lots of collections. How many total collections do you have? We have over 60 different collections and it takes Verity about 30 sections to index a single database item (although I think this has more to do w/checking to make sure the collection exists.) First, I'd recommend moving to using catagories instead of individual collections--which were introduced in CFMX 7. Unlike previous versions of Verity in CF, all the collections are now loaded and kept in memory. If you have a bunch of collections, you can find yourself very quickly running out of RAM and moving to using virtual memory--which kills performance. Using the categories in Verity should drastically reduce the memory requirements of Verity. Next, you might be better off firing off an async event that does all the indexing in sequence--instead of firing off a new thread for each indexing. Also, I'd remove <cflock />'s around your <cfindex /> and <cfsearch /> tags, as the usuage of locks has been depreciated. -Dan ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:238707 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
