Nice slideshow script?
I'm looking for suggestions on a nice, elegant, straightforward-to-implement slideshow script. I don't want to use cfpresentation for a myriad of reasons. Is there anything that hooks into CF9's built-in AJAX stuff?

Re: cfif contains
1. No need for # inside the cfif. :) 2. You shouldn't need to trim it if you use a contains. 3. You set CPU to a single value of AMD. Therefore, cpu.description doesn't exist anymore.

Dynamically resizing a cfwindow?
I'd like to be able to dynamically resize a ColdFusion window created with
cfwindow. I haven't found anything definitive as to whether this is
possible; I did try the following:
[script language=javascript
ColdFusion.Window.getWindowObject('albumwin').resizeTo(#imgInfo.width#,#imgInfo.height#);
[/script
(script tags broken intentionally). This doesn't seem to work. Is there a
way to do this?
Thanks,

CF (8.0.0) performance vs PHP (5)
Dear All, I have this algorithm that runs a query or two against a mySQL (5) database on a Win 2003 (64Bit) server. The code loops over the query; assembles some text and writes it out to a text file line by line. Fairly simple really. There are lots of records. When I code this algorithm and execute in PHP 5 it runs in 7 seconds (give or take); When I code and excecute it in CF 8.0.0, it runs in around 74 seconds. The PHP code is being executed using cfexecute... Now to me this kind of performance degradation/difference between PHP and CF is unintuive, given that PHP is interpreted; whilst CF is 'compiled'; I expected CF to run faster. This was not my code to begin with however I have gone over it and checked for all the usual suspects; memory leaks; var variables and the like. The CF code is in the form of a cfcomponent, and my execution time observations were taken on the second run to take the compilation phase into account. Now I'm aware that CF 8.0.1 fixed some performance issues relating to CFC methods (I think...); but were the issues as severe as I am seeing ? Anyway, have others any views to offer on why I am seeing such a severe performance degradation for CF over PHP and suggest any way in which I might tune the CF code/server so that it is more nearly the same or better than the PHP. Sonme might suggest this is difficult since I have deliberately not posted the code; however I'm thinking that perhaps you might suggest general things I may not have thought of.

Re: CF (8.0.0) performance vs PHP (5)
Just a guess but... If you are doing a lot of string manipulation CF can be really slow. I don't know about CF 8 as I have not tried parsing large text strings with it, but earlier versions were abysmal performance wise when it came to string manipulation. As far as CFC's and objects go, I have seen plain old cfquery and cfoutput run ten+ times faster than doing the same thing by loading a bean with data and passing it to a DOA or Gateway. Even with CF 8. Based on my experience, I would imagine that the bottle neck would be in one of those two places. Again just a guess. G!

Re: CF (8.0.0) performance vs PHP (5)
If you're appending text line by line to a memory variable, you're probably having issues relating to java strings being immutable. If you're appending to a file each time, that's probably slowing you down. Try the loop without writing any strings out and see what the difference is. If that's fast, try a Java class that buffers string or file output depending on how you want it to work. -- WSS4CF - WS-Security framework for CF http://wss4cf.riaforge.org/ On 18 October 2010 11:14, Bryn Parrott bryn_parr...@internode.on.net wrote: Dear All, I have this algorithm that runs a query or two against a mySQL (5) database on a Win 2003 (64Bit) server.

It's not always ColdFusion that is at issue. The JVM plays a huge role here. What is your JVM version? Oh, and why not update your version of CF as well? Thanks Will... Initially I saw that the JVM was set to a non-adobe JVM; and so I changed it back to the standard ColdFusion8/runtime/jre. This had the important benefit of reducing response time by 3 seconds; but unfortunately this is not enough. In regards update of CF; I explored this possibility but it turned out that unless I can point to important business benefits the client is unlikely to want to spend the resource required to regression test all of the various applications running on the same server. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:338270 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
