Brian,

I'm sure I won't be the only to say "it depends" here ;-) That said,
as far as "ballparks and gut feels" go, I'd say that Railo and CF9 are
both significantly faster than CF8, all around.

I had a Model-Glue/ColdSpring/Transfer app running on a CentOS VPS
with CF8/JRun and 512 MB RAM and it was slow to start up, a bit slow
running and continually crashed the JRun instance. And, it was the
only app on the entire VPS server! I moved it to an Ubuntu VPS with
Railo/Tomcat, along with 6 other CFML apps on the instance, also 512
MB RAM, and it's noticeably faster all-around and has not crashed
once. This is not comparing apples to apples, because I changed both
the CFML engine (CF8 to Railo 3.1) and the servlet container (JRun to
Tomcat), so take it for what's it's worth.

I can't say for sure that CF9 would have the same performance gain
that I saw with Railo, when moving from CF8, but I'd expect similar
improvement. The servlet container can have a big affect on resources
as well. Tomcat is certainly more lightweight than JRun, and though
it's not officially supported by CF9, it works fine with one jar added
for ORM support (I think there's a good post about this on Alagad's
blog).

Best,
Jamie
