<CF_TurboCache>

This tag can speed up most ColdFusion pages by a factor of 10 to 100 times! It's most effective if you're doing a lot of CF processing or have a slow database query. Basically, the worst your situation the better you'll come out of it! Here are some other reasons to use CF_TurboCache:
- Some pages take too long to process and you want to knock it down to just
10ms or less. A decent server can take a 600ms page down to just 6ms.
- You are using an Access database & are worried about stressing it too much - Access is not recommended for production databases, but you can get away with it in many cases if you cache properly!
- You are using a lot of slow database queries (even Oracle can slow down)
- Your website is reaching capacity or is too slow and you want to make
it faster and increase capacity.
- You have some CPU intensive database or ColdFusion code that's being
executed everytime someone hits the page. If your code isn't generating
absolutely unique results then this is a pointless waste of resource.
- You're worried your server may not cope with the usage it's going to get
and you need to take precautions to maximise its capacity.
-
Your hosting company has disabled the CFFILE and CFDIRECTORY tags which
means you can't use Allaire's CFCACHE tag.
- Caching to disk is too slow for your needs.
- You want to cache the content of a CFINCLUDE and some other caching custom tags you've tried won't let you do that.
