Did you let it run until you reached the maximum heap space? 20,000 is pretty tame, unless each one somehow can actually claim a good chunk of random memory. A query really is not a good way to test this either, since there is quite a bit of magic behind the curtain that allows CFML access to underlying Java/jdbc logic, so just because you have 20,000 objects each with a query does not mean the JVM is not managing it in some arcane way and wont GC or pagefile when it has to. Try throwing something extreme at it just for fun-- make a new 500K block of random text in EACH bean. I have found that a well tuned JVM will always use most of the heap all of the time in production. GC only happens when needed and then it fills right back up. If something huge is thrown at it, you see the page file activity, and JVM manages to do the task. -- /Kevin Pepperman "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
