Unless you're doing something like a lot of Microsoft or PDF integration,
Railo will obliterate ACF in performance. Every time. All the time.
Period. You'll need wwwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy less hardware
with Railo.

Not sure what exactly you're getting at, but Railo is at least as "secure"
as ACF. In just a basic installation, I'd venture to say that Railo is more
secure, as each Railo instance provides sandboxing out of the box, giving a
"Web Administrator" to each project/application. But to really answer your
question, we'd need a much more detailed question (or series of questions).

Railo's cfscript implementation beats the hell out of ACF's, and has for
years.
Go run this on ACF. Then install Railo and give it a whirl. :-)
<cfscript>
foo = {
x:'yay!',
y:'hooray!',
z:'rock on, Railo!'
}
writeDump( foo )
</cfscript>

I don't do much with cfspreadsheet, so I don't know if that's a deal
breaker or not. I can say that the extension has done what I needed and
done it well the handful of times I've needed that functionality.

Bottom line. The future of CFML *is* Railo.

HTH!
