However, understanding the basic architecture behind ColdFusion allows you to get a little more specific. In fact, I was able to obtain a patch from a kernel hacker that really affected CF's performance, but didn't have any effect on Apache or the rest of the system. > Second, other than experience, how would you figure out which variables > interact with other variables?

While I am sure I could do better if I knew all the internals, I wasn't really looking to spend months on tuning. I just look on the surface for things I could change quickly. At a certain point it is useless to continue to tune the machine. With today's prices on hardware, you can't really justify spending more than two days on tuning. -Matt ______________________________________________________________________ Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm 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
