I could be wrong, but I believe the reason is because some shared hosting companies have way too many CF sites on the same box, with not enough hardware behind it. Then introduce bad programming (it's going to happen whether you like it or not - someone on a box of 150+ accounts is going to do bad programming... even a simple infinite loop can cause issues). Essentially the server runs pretty poorly. So their solution is to restart the CF service nightly, rather than fix the problem by spreading the accounts on multiple servers with better hardware. When you restart the servers nightly on an framework application that requires application caching, you're going to have to re-cache the entire application each time (making it appear slow). Analogy: Think of emptying the gas/petrol from your vehicle every night. It's a poor solution to shutting of the vehicle when turning the key would have sufficed. Solution: Either find a better shared hosting solution, or go with something like VPS. Probably not what you wanted to hear, but it is what it is. -- Jeff Coughlin Web Application Developer http://jeffcoughlin.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "farcry-dev" group.
