Here are the results of your code with java.lang.runtime. Forgot to mention that the JVM is 1.5.0_15-b04.
Memory Before: 28 Megs string & string: 99642ms String Length: 650000 Memory After: 91 Megs -- Increase of 63 Megs Memory Before: 29 Megs cfsavecontent: 63ms String Length: 850003 Memory After: 37 Megs -- Increase of 8 Megs Basically what this tells me is that you should use cfsavecontent rather than concatenating strings. But I was not expecting such a difference. larry > Here are the results of your code (again BD for J2EE running on JBoss > AS 4.22): > > string & string&: 33251ms > String Length: 390000 > cfsavecontent: 62ms > String Length: 570006 > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:306832 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
