RE: [cobalt-users] Coldfusion performance on a Raq

["Adrian Faulkner" <adrian.faulkner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greg,

This is what I hear.  There are some people who say that there are
performance problems running Cold Fusion on a RAQ.  However, if you really
know what you are doing, and understand how it all works, you can get it to
work nicely, but it takes a bit of fudging.

One thing we find developing for Cold Fusion on NT is that it has a habit of
loosing sessions when under stress.  I don't find this to be the case with
PHP, which seems to hold up incredibly well under stress.  Php/MySQL is
supposedly faster than CF/?

If you want to run CF on a RAQ, take a look at http://www.tagfusion.com.
This uses a java engine and supposedly runs faster than CF4.5.  Not all tags
are supported, you can do nested queries (which is very nice), but I've
never tried it, so I'm not making any claims other than ones I've heard.
