I won!
Over at BlogInBlock, Kai ran a Travel mashup raffle, which I won by being the first person to respond.
The fact we are in the same time zone gave me the upper hand!

answer: Cause the ColdFusion Development team did lots of work!
When I started hear about how fast CF8 was I asked my self the question "I wonder how much of this is to do with the fact that CF8 is running on Java 6?"
I decided to run a quick test.
With my CF8 deployed on my old Jrun setup, using JVM 1.4.2, I did the olde (worst) load test and looped over instantiating CFC lots of times.
Here is my code:
Average 2.825 ms
Average 0.589 ms
So, while I suspect having a newer JVM to back up CF8 installs *helps* with speed, it looks to me that it's a lot more than the JVM making it go like a scorpion strapped to a large rocket! :-)
