Kurt,
I know this is the wrong way to bring it all up, but yes we do. Since we
applied the latest fixes we have had about 15 minutes up time in every 45
minutes.
I have been way busy today, and our main interface with Macromedia has been
seconded to another team for 2 months so we have no full contact with
macromedia support at present.
Needless to say, I thought I would use the list for a little blowing off of
steam , not constructive but it may help the larger community of Spectra
developers come to terms with some of the issues surrounding large scale use
of Spectra.
We have reversed the latest fixes and have a *little* more stability right
now. The box that suffers the most is the box that takes all the cfhttp
hits, the one used by editors to edit content fares a little better.
One of the UNIX engineers thinks the may be a problem with the AF_UNIX
sockets cfide and cfserver, but this could be a red herring as these live in
/tmp and this is where Solaris keeps its swap space.

Raymond,
Maybe that was a bit of a rant.
Admittedly some documentation exists for those functions but it is woefully
inadequate and (in the case of StructGet()), completely inaccurate.
StructGet() left us with a huge ammount of manual garbage cleaning to do. A
structSort fails if you pass the arguments in the order specified by the
documentation .
I'm not a Spectra clobberer as it is how I make my living, but I have no
love for it today due to the on going problem of memory leaks on Solaris.
We only have 20 users on 2 huge Sun Sparc boxs each with dual 500 processors
and a 2 gigs of ram. One box is used for editting content the other for
flattening that content to HTML. Its a lot of power and it still can't take
the load.

Actually, these _are_ documented, in CF5 for sure, and in the release notes
for the last 4.5. (I always forget if it's 4.5 SP2 or 4.5.1 SP2, whatever,
the last rev of 4.5 :)
