I've been doing some performance test of ColdFusion 8 vs. 7 and have been
stunned by what I've found for PDFs. I set up two identical Windows Server 2003
virtual machines and have found CF8 generates PDF files about 4 times slower
than CF7. This sample 100 page PDF takes 7-8 seconds to generate on CF7 and
28-32 seconds on CF8.
Has anyone else noticed this issue? Or am I doing something really wrong?
CODE:
<cfset tick = GetTickCount()>
<cfdocument format="pdf" filename="RandomTask.pdf" overwrite="true"
pagetype="letter" margintop="1" marginbottom="1" marginleft="1" marginright="1">
<cfloop index="i" from="1" to="100">
<cfdocumentsection>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>I am paragraph one.</p>
<p>I am paragraph two</p>
</body>
</html>
</cfdocumentsection>
</cfloop>
</cfdocument>
<cfset tock = GetTickCount()>
<cfset time = tock-tick>
<cfoutput><p>Making that huge PDF took #time#ms.</p></cfoutput>
