Our server is a much busier machine than it was 12 months ago. The increased traffic put a noticeable strain on Coldfusion 7, and as a result we had a few stability issues. Over time, Coldfusion gradually ate away at the server's memory until eventually it crashed, requiring a quick restart. We tried many different tweaks and managed to improve things slightly, but we were always fighting the problem. Three weeks ago we carried out the much-anticipated upgrade to Coldfusion 8. The first thing we observed was how the pages load consistently faster than they used to, we don't have any metrics but the difference is noticeable. Magnolia Soft uses the Mach-II framework and an object-oriented architecture which means that Coldfusion 8's increased performance for object creation has made a significant impact on response times. However, the most impressive improvement to note is its improved stability; since upgrading, we haven't restarted the server once. The server has been running like a dream, like a real server!
