Indeed, maybe 90% or more of the CFIDE features are straightforward and need no training or further information to back them up which if why I think a CFIDE training course is pointless, though if people want to pay for it.. Go for your life :-)
Surely though in that blog example the speed of the HD etc has to be taken into account (amongst other things such as network config which training would never give you)? Not just that fact that if you have a load of class files it will be slow? I mean, I could have 1 million class files on a kick as files system etc which could be considerably faster than say someone with 1K class files on poor machine spec...? I see your point but I am struggling to see if and when a training course could digress away from a set curriculum which does not stray into the "you should do it this way...because" when there are so many ways which are correct when it comes to say Windows or SQL security (beyond the obvious) "This e-mail is from Reed Exhibitions (Gateway House, 28 The Quadrant, Richmond, Surrey, TW9 1DN, United Kingdom), a division of Reed Business, Registered in England, Number 678540.

I generally agree that most of the things in the CF Administrator are pretty straightforward, but I think you chose a poor example. Based on the documentation alone, should you enable this option or not? If there are any variables used to figure this out, what would they be? Of course, it turns out that the documentation doesn't tell you the crucial piece of information - as the number of compiled classes increases, the likelihood that you will see a performance degradation also increases due to the expense of looking within a single directory filled with lots of files: http://www.bpurcell.org/blog/index.cfm?mode=entry&entry=1031 And this sort of information is one big reason why people attend training - to learn the things that aren't immediately obvious. Every system has these sorts of things.
