Cold Fusion will NOT handle a busy web site. I almost lost my company when
Cold Fusion slowed to a crawl with only about 20 con-current hits. And this setup
was using MS SQL server. The other problem with Cold Fusion is there tech support.
It is almost non-existent.

I solved the problem and stayed in business by switching to SQL2HTML by http://www.nutech.com. Shawn and Raven at Nutech spent alot of time helping me convert
my CF apps to stored procedures. You can see my main application for their product at
