I've always noticed the same thing, even with external web servers but only with the first request after the services have been started. 10 seconds? I've never timed it, but it's probably about that. Ryan

What everyone has said so far about CF caching compiled class files is true, but it is more just how CF works, and has nothing to do with what web server you use. ~Brad -----Original Message----- From: Dave Watts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 10, 2006 3:10 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: built in web server > Hi, i am noticing when using the built in webserver, it takes > a while for the pages to load. it says in the status bar > 'waiting for local host' and maybe takes 10 seconds to load a page. > > i have noticed that it is moderately faster on some higher > spec computers but was wondering if the performance is > enhanced when running the enterprise edition in a production > environment Typically, in a development environment, you're making changes, then testing those changes. Each time you run a script after changing it, that file needs to be recompiled by CF, which takes a considerable amount of time. This would be true whether you use the built-in web server or an external web server. In a production environment, many people are typically running the same scripts, and those scripts don't change very often. So, after they've been compiled the first time, CF simply reuses the compiled classes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:256218 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
