Here's an interesting question:
We all know that setting global variables in the request scope is faster and
more thread-safe than using the Application scope, but does that remain true
as we scale?
Environment: 50 request variables are set in application.cfm (so they are
set every time a page is called) OR
50 application variables are set one time.
Scenario 1:
One person hits the site. One of the following happens depending on
how you've written the application:
a. 50 request variables are set and five are read
b. 5 application variables are read
Scenario 2:
5,000 people hit the site at once (i.e. Amazon opens sale of PS2 to
public). One of the following happens:
a. 250,000 request variables are set and 25,000 are read
b. 25,000 application variables are read with automatic read
locking set to ON in the CF admin
I would very much like to hear some feedback on this if anyone wants to
hypothesize about the results.
