On the dev server generating a simple page takes about 7 seconds, on the fast production server it takes about 15 seconds. That's including images and stuff.
I created simple HTML page with the word "test" on it and that comes through very quickly so it does feel like the issue is related to images or CSS or something. I've seen a lot of posts online (and in cf-talk) about calling the images using file:// instead of the http. I tried that in my code but it didn't seem to make any difference. I'm using a CFHTTP request to grab a page URL and then taking the #fileContent# and embedding that into the cfdocument tags. It's weird though because both servers talk to the same code and database so if there was an issue with images then one might expect it to happen on both servers. > -----Original Message----- > From: Mike Chabot [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: 14 June 2011 14:03 > To: cf-talk > Subject: Re: CFPDF Performance Issues > > > What type of speed differences are you seeing?
