Coldfusion 8 Perfomance

[jqcf]

Who here has had issues here and what did you do about it? I'd like to get a good list of all the possible approaches and solutions here. There's some good general information here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_17054
However, I'd like to hear from some others who have recently struggled with this and can provide more detailed information about solutions.

I have read that CF8, when the bundled JVM is used, has performance issues when serving sites that rely on large numbers of CFCs.

I'd like to share something I recently found that made a huge difference for me: scopecache custom tag. We used it to to cache code fragments that were particularly slow. Now, we have these code fragments including html and all loaded in RAM and our pages run a million times faster. Before our site would get very slow when more than a few users were hitting pages that required a lot of database calls that ran hundreds of times inside a cfloop tag.
