I need help solving a CFCONTENT performance issue. I am using CF4.5.1 SP1 on WinNT4.0 SP6 and IIS 4 (but se the same problem with CF 5, Win2000 and IIS5)
I am trying to use CFCONTENT to display several (up to 20) GIF images on a page. This is to allow running authentication checks before permitting the user to view the images. All the mechanics are fine and the images display, but there is a *severe* performance degradation vs. direct HREFs to the files. When the CF "number of simultaneous requests" is set to 5 there is a 2-second delay after each 5 GIFs. When the CF "number of simultaneous requests" is set to 1 there is a 2-second delay after each GIF. This is noted in the IIS logs. I also have network monitor logs which capture the actual packets. If you look at the last packet before and the first packet after the 2-second delay sent by the server to the browser, the only difference is that the "data has been sent" bit is set. The data is already completely sent before the 2-second delay. Anyone have any hints as to what is going on, or better yet, how to fix it? Any faster alternatives to CFCONTENT for downloading a file but not revealing its location? thanks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
