For the last few months I have been trying to find some places in my site that can be optimised, as with my previous article on caching in ContentBox, there are other things we need to look at and you may even be surprised with some of the results.
First lets look at my site, the site is running using ContentBox and caching options, so if the content is cached it can be delivered in a second rather than 6-10 seconds. However the one problem I have is the dashboard inside ContentBox itself, which is now in the process of being rewritten for some clients to give it better performance.
But while I have been doing this, I sat back and ran some tests with the way ContentBox does its ORM and with the way ColdFusion used to do it with the query tag and using ColdFusion ExecuteQuery to see what difference are between these options. One of these actually shocked me, even though I had blogged about this before, those results showed not much of a difference. However since then I have seriously a lot more records than I did then.
The tests that I used are defined below.
