> Running iterative tests tells you nothing about application performance.
That may be a good point, but what does it have to do with the original topic? Sean originally stated that performance gains measured in milliseconds were meaningless. I pointed out that the way CF7 was coded allowed for performance degradations which were larger than mere milliseconds. Besides my iterative test, you keep ignoring the reports of real live applications who suffered from the performance of cfswitch tags and strings. > Yes, and the way to identify those problems is through load testing, not > through building scripts that do things you don't actually do in your > codebase. And what makes you an expert in my code base? Have you seen it? Fact of the matter is, I was just working this week in some code which performed some conditional processing of large result sets looping once per column and row. Based on the data available it has the potential to run thousands of times. > What if they work yet another way in CF 9? You can beat the what-if horse all you want, but this thread has clearly been about differences between CF7 and CF8. To tell me people haven't coded in such a way that optimized for their version of the compiler would be a lie. I'm sorry, but I won't be able to post any more until Monday. I'm off to celebrate Thankgiving. Happy Holiday everyone!
