When a CF file is first run it gets compiled to a class file and loaded into memory (template cache), if save class files is enabled then the compiled class file is saved to disk as well, and this file will be used in the future instead of always compiling the CFM file. This will happen if CF is restarted or if the file gets removed from the template cache for any reason.
When you have trusted cache enabled this simply tells CF not to bother looking at the cfm file to see if there is a newer version, and to always trust that the cached version is the newest. So if you do not plan to change your files any time soon, this should provide a performance boost. It is possible to compile all your CFM files to class files and only have these on the server and not have any cfm files at all. -- Russ Michaels www.bluethunderinternet.com : Business hosting services & solutions www.cfmldeveloper.com : ColdFusion developer community + free developer hosting www.michaels.me.uk : my blog www.cfsearch.com : ColdFusion search engine ** *skype me* : russmichaels ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:342485 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
