It is quite surprising how many CF Servers go into production having just the default JVM settings (0 to 512 heap).
I think that Adobe should have some choices during install... Maybe profiles based on load and resources or whatever. I don't think that many people understand that throwing CF on a server with lots of RAM won't help you unless you adjust the heap - and that there is a limit to how large the heap can be (on 32bit anyway). -mark -----Original Message----- From: Jochem van Dieten [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 29, 2008 8:35 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: How much memory should be allocated to the JVM?

Proper settings for your JVM are determined during load testing. If we get called in when an app has been pushed into production without load testing and there is an immediate problem we typically set it to -Xmx1280m -Xms768m hoping it will make the server stable enough to do proper load testing.
