A CF server administration course would cover a lot more than that, I'd
hope. JVM configuration, troubleshooting, general server configuration, web
server integration options, etc, etc. We don't have a formal class for this
stuff here at Fig Leaf, but we do quite a bit of consulting/mentoring on
this, because there's enough non-obvious information to make it worthwhile
for people.

Well, obviously, the speed of your filesystem and the speed of the storage
media would all play a part, but my point was simply that the documentation
doesn't tell you anything about it. It simply says something to the effect
of "enable this in production", which is not the correct answer.

And, for what it's worth, I don't think the filesystem exists which will
handle your 1 million class files. The underlying problem is that these
files are all in one directory, and filesystems don't handle that especially
well.
