Significant inprovements. Using K2 offloads the processing out of ColdFusion... It's faster (usually at leat 2x faster sometimes much more depending on the size of the collection) at least in our tests (Win2k/NT)
When using K2 what I've found is that when the collection is refreshed or reindexed it's best to restart the K2 service. You can use a batch file called with cfexecute to do this (either use the k2server.exe and remove/replace or do a net stop/start.. Either will work.) Otherwise, you are ok to use the CF tools to manage your collections.

I was wondering if anyone has seen any noticeable improvements with moving to CF 5 and the K2 engine? ALSO, when reindexing (if files are added / deleted) we are doing the following: <cfindex action="REFRESH" collection="<collection name>" key="<path to collection>" type="PATH" extensions=".xls, .htm, pdf, .doc, .vsd, .txt, .rtf, .zip, .log" recurse="No" language="English"> <cfindex collection="<collection name>" action="UPDATE" type="PATH" extensions=".xls, .htm, .pdf, .doc, .vsd, .txt, .rtf, zip, .log" key="<path to collection>" language="English" recurse="Yes"> is this the most efficient way to accomplish this?
