I would like to throw my own 2 cents in here on this thread. I agree with Dave on this. I think training on CF Admin issues go way behind just checking a box in the CF Admin. We have a small shop and we need wear more than just one hat. We have a team of good programmers and designers, but we can't afford to hire a Network OS Admin to help with the tuning of CF on our web servers. So, our programmers use lists like this one to pick off information on CF Admin issues. Like, what happens if I do check or uncheck that box, what performance issues will I see, what security holes did I just open or close? So, most of the time you check the box and see what happens on your production server. But, a training class in this area would be great for shops like ours. Setting up multiple instances of CF7 on Jrun alone is much different than just taking all the CF7 installation defaults. If we could send one of our senior programmers to a class on CF7 Installation/Set up, we would do it. It would save us a ton of time and we would be getting the latest tips and tricks from a training company that has already gone through it.

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.
