BD.NET CFML is a little more than just including an ASP page, it is in fact 100% .NET code under the hood with the CFML. You may be writing what you know and love as ColdFusion but you are in all reality building .NET.
The logical step for anyone moving from to BD.NET from ColdFusion is to move entirely to .NET. As Dave noted, it would be no suprise that BD.NET ran faster on Windows being that it is .NET, is designed to run fast on it. Java has always been notorious for running poorly on Windows in comparison (some say 64bit on AMD can give better performance than 32 or 64 on Intel). I am suprised though that the various owners of ColdFusion have not done a version of ColdFusion like BD.NET considering BD.NET was in all reality just the "normal" Java version recompiled to J#.

'Almost immediately, MySpace saw that the ASP.NET programs ran much more efficiently, consuming a smaller share of the processor power on each server to perform the same tasks as a comparable ColdFusion program. According to CTO Whitcomb, 150 servers running the new code were able to do the same work that had previously required 246. Benedetto says another reason for the performance improvement may have been that in the process of changing software platforms and rewriting code in a new language, Web site programmers reexamined every function for ways it could be streamlined. Eventually, MySpace began a wholesale migration to ASP.NET. The remaining ColdFusion code was adapted to run on ASP.NET rather than on a Cold-Fusion server, using BlueDragon.NET, a product from New Atlanta Communications of Alpharetta, Ga., that automatically recompiles ColdFusion code for the Microsoft environment.' Maybe if they had just gotten some skilled CF developers to look at their code they could have avoided the MS approach all together and kept the content in the language we all know and love. No offense to Vince and the guys at NA, but a .cfm page that just includes an ASP page isn't CF. Thousands of executives, with little to no clue, received a link to this article in their inbox today. The article told them that ColdFusion was twice as slow as .NET and required twice the hardware (we know that's not necessarily true, but that's what they'll take away from it.) How do we continue to battle these perceptions and misconceptions without some help? -- Cutter ____________ http://blog.cutterscrossing.com "The Past is a Memory The Future a Dream But Today is a Gift That's why they call it The Present" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:267440 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
