I have a blog. On the home page of my web site, I use Ray's rss.cfc to "syndicate" the last 10 blog entries from my personal blog, from my opensourcecf.com blog, and the last 10 updated photo galleries from google's picasaweb
http://www.rickroot.com/ I also have a few web pages with silly flash games and videos and stuff on them. Like this one: http://www.webworksllc.com/I_Like_You.cfm A few days ago, I decided to put the last 3 blog entries on those pages, using the rss CFC just like I do on my personal home page... you know, maybe drive extra readers to my blog. This generated something in the neighborhood of 500-1000 requests per hour to my rss feed on rickroot.com Of course, the feed itself changes AT MOST 3-4 times a day.... At any rate, over the last few days, since I implemented that, Coldfusion started crapping out every so often - a problem I've never had before on this server. Took me a little while but after looking through logs and stuff, I finally figured out that rss.cfc was causing timeouts somewhere, and eventually this would bring coldfusion down because of the amount of requests that were getting hung up. Now I'm caching the rss feed and only loading it on application restart and also randomly every 1000 requests or so.... Hopefully, problem solved!
