I'm running ColdFusion8 on Windows 2003 x32 bit machines. From my research It appears that CF request speed is directly correlated to CPU clock, not number of cores, cache, or bus speed.
Here are the average page load times from a group of test pages on 3 different machines: 2x single core opteron 246 (2Ghz / core): 251ms 2x Dual core Xeon 5160 (3Ghz / core): 196ms 2x Quad core Xeon 5540 (2.53Ghz / core): 261ms I would have expected the Xeon 5440 to process requests the fastest, but that's not the case. We're running database servers on similar Xeon 5540 machines and the SQL performance on those boxes if far better that what we would get with the Opteron's or Xeon 5160's. Does anyone know why requests run on the older generation xeon 5160 would be 20% faster than the current generation 5540? Is the speed of a ColdFusion app purely based on clock speed in anyone elses experience?
