I’ve been exclusively using CF8 for development, leaving testing environments on CF7. In some rough testing, I’m clocking the new engine to be about 15 percent faster. I’m still using JRun4 and Java 1.4.2 on my
. I expect even further speed increases on Linux where I do not need to use such an old version of Java. When I’ve bothered to time the improvements, I’m get roughly 15%, yet it feels like more. Much of what I’m doing recently involves working with Fusebox, which when set in developer mode basically recompiles the whole site at every hit. This can get pretty heavy when testing out new stuff. I made the switch on my dev machine to CF8 about midway through the project and do really notice the improvement. So even with the boring stuff like speed enhancements and stability, CF8 is looking well worth it. I look forward to a public launch soon, problems with RC1 have been minor.
