Question

Smaller footprint

is it possible to "trim" CFMX8 down to lessen the mem/cpu footprint, i.e. disable certain "features" or services .. flex, remoting, flash integration... ?

Maybe also, which is the less resource intense installation, [on linux] CFs own server, as a java app or as an apache module?

Is it possible to run CF through an internal proxy or something so that CF and another webserver can share port 80?

again - with the performance thing, I am trying to see if it is possible to run CFMX8 on an MediaTemple DV [1gig ram] the CF load would actually be light, but 1.2 gig is the max ram they will allow on a DV.... any suggestions?

-thanks

    Yes, but not well documented.

    Again you can customize ColdFusion after installation. Most of the settings are in XML based config files.

    CF runs on a webserver (except remote calls, gateways etc.) and I think this question is related with webserver not directly CF.

    A very interesting request and I really like the idea. But in general if you need CFML engine which can also work in low level systems with some customizations, I can also suggest to check out Railo (railo.ch).

    These kind of options would be available depending on customer requests. I also would suggest to enter your request into CF wish lists for upcoming versions.

    hmmm railo looks interesting. what sort of server resources does it take up? Are you familiar with the Smith Project [just came across that one today.. http://www.smithproject.org ]

    basically my problem is that in a DV I will have 1.2G ram max, CFMX seems to run [on my system at 800m virtual + 120 - 230 physical memory while idle... [!] unless I can cut that in half, cf simply won't run on 1.2 gig under load.
