I don't know where the idea that .NET is magically able to process thousands of times more work than Java came from, but MS themselves recommend around 12 simultaneous requests for .NET: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnpag/html/scalenetchapt17.asp "Twelve is the optimum number of threads that should be made available to the ASP.NET worker process to service requests. This value means that ASP.NET cannot execute more than twelve requests concurrently." http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;821268 "When you use this configuration, you can execute a maximum of 12 ASP.NET requests per CPU at the same time" > There are other factors that one needs to think about when writing an > application.

And of course CF 8 has CFTHREAD so there goes that argument. >You have to realize, .NET isn't just a web based language, it is a Development language for desktop and server applications as well. You have to realize that ASP. NET is a web apps platform running on ..NET, just as CF is a web apps platform running on Java (which is a programming language). Enough trolling ok? Download the CF8 Beta, write some code, load test it and see how it really performs compared to the equivalent app in ASP.NET. -- mxAjax / CFAjax docs and other useful articles: http://www.bifrost.com.au/blog/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Deploy Web Applications Quickly across the enterprise with ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2 Free Trial http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=RVJU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:280559 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
