What is happening as I thought it out, is that CF gets a request to execute something like GetPriceFromAmazon.cfm, GetPriceFromHalf.cfm, GetPriceFromBN.cfm all at the same time. This is the same as 3 users hitting your site at the same time and I believe CF can execute those requests at the same time as well (as defined by the parameter Maximum number of simultaneous requests in cfadmin). If you execute these requests within one page, yes it will be synchronously and the time it will take is simply adding the individual page's times. In my scenario (if it works at all, it is just a thought so far), the total execution time will be slightly longer or equal to the single slowest page.
/m > Isn't the nature of CF synchronous (when it comes to page requests)? So regardless of the order in which you execute these things each one will be executed one at a time on the java stack (FILO - first in last out) think stacking plates on one of those buffet lines - that's the way the java stack behaves.... It may have the appearance of multi threaded but, I doubt it will speed anything up in reality. It may look faster but, you still have to wait for all those things to finish before you can do anything with them. So multithreaded its not if that is the case. Ive done only a few multithreaded apps (and they were not complex mind you) in java and I'm not sure how CF behaves but when you do this you may create more of a problem for yourself because you are increasing the number of requests per user per page (if multiple users hit this app). Just some things to think about. Here is the link to the java tutorial on threads... might be a little more helpful than the javadoc link above: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/concurrency/procthread.html On 9/13/06, Mischa Uppelschoten ext 10 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I can't speak to the difference between regular frames and iframes, but you > got the idea I had.
